What this recall means for you
A safety clip that attaches the shift cable to the transmission may not be installed properly. As a result, the transmission may not lock into park when the shift lever is placed in park, even though the lever appears to be in that position.
If the transmission does not lock in park, the vehicle can roll away, which increases the risk of a crash. Owners should be aware of this risk, especially when parking on slopes.
The repair is free. Dealers will replace the shift cable at no charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 3, 2024. You can also contact Porsche customer service at 1-800-767-7243, referencing recall ARA7, and check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for any open recalls.
