What's wrong, in plain English

After a Cayenne is turned off, the rear hazard warning lights and parking lights may fail to come on if they are turned on within 10 seconds after the vehicle's gateway control unit shuts off. Because of this, the vehicle does not meet the federal lighting safety standard for lamps and reflective devices. In this situation, other drivers may not be able to see the hazard or parking lights when they are needed.

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm if your vehicle is affected.
2. Contact a Porsche dealer, or call Porsche customer service at 1-800-767-7243, to schedule the repair.
3. The repair (a software update) is free.

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