What is being recalled
Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (Porsche) is recalling certain model year 2011-2016 Cayenne vehicles manufactured April 28, 2010, to January 11, 2016. The brake pedal pivot pin may be missing a circlip, allowing the pivot pin to move and the brake pedal to dislodge.
Why it is dangerous
If the brake pedal dislodges, the driver may not be able to apply the brakes, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix (free at any franchised dealer)
Porsche will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the brake pedal assembly circlip, installing any missing circlips, free of charge. The recall began on July 8, 2016. Owners may contact Porsche customer service at 1-800-767-7243. Porsche's number for this recall is AG02.
Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 16V-169 when calling a dealer.
