Dark Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 Porsche is recalling a total of 74,585 Panamera, of which 19,200 are in the United States and Canada. The recall is to solve a software problem that could make the electric power steering system unavailable for short periods. The withdrawal covers the Panameras of current generation made between March 6, 2016 and December 6, 2018. Porsche said in a statement. "If this happens, then an increase in force is required to direct", "To avoid this, the associated control unit must be reprogrammed with an updated data record as a precautionary measure". A spokesman said Porsche will notify owners in writing and that customers can continue to use their vehicles. However, he said that the owners of the affected vehicles should visit a Porsche dealership as soon as possible so that the electric power steering control unit can be reprogrammed free of charge. The automaker has not received any personal injury reports and is not aware of any accidents related to the software defect, the spokesperson said. In June, Porsche announced a recall and stop order in the United States for 715 Panamera because there is a possibility that connecting links for the rear axle stabilizer bar that do not meet Porsche's quality standards have been installed. Porsche reported sales in November of 5,673 vehicles in the United States, an increase of 2.1 percent from the month of the previous year. Until November, Porsche sales in the United States rose 3.1 percent from the previous year to 53,116. The demand of the Macan, the new generation Cayenne and the Panamera helped improve sales in November 1
