What's wrong, in plain English

After an earlier recall repair was completed on these vehicles, the rear axle alignment may not have been inspected as it should have been. Skipping that inspection step means the rear axle could be misaligned. A misaligned rear axle can cause the tires to wear unevenly or wear out faster than normal.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
2. Contact a Porsche dealer or Porsche customer service at 1-800-767-7243.
3. Dealers will inspect and adjust the rear axle alignment, and replace any worn tires, free of charge.

Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 22V040000.
