What's wrong, in plain English

Porsche is recalling certain Taycan cars that may have been built with the wrong software in the module that controls the headlights. Because of that software, the parking lights may not work as intended when the turn signals are switched on. As a result, these cars do not meet the federal rule covering lamps and reflective equipment. Dealers will update the headlight control module software, and there is no charge to the owner for the update.

What you should do

1. Enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether your vehicle is covered.
2. Contact a Porsche dealer, or Porsche customer service at 1-800-767-7243, to schedule the software update (Porsche's recall number is ARB4).
3. The update is free.

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 24V654000.
