Porsche recalls nearly 200,000 cars for headlight problems
Porsche To be remember nearly 200,000 examples of Macan, Cayenne, Panameraand Cayman WILL manufactured between 2003 and 2020 to address adjustment screw caps that may be missing from their headlight assemblies, allowing lights to be adjusted beyond spec, which can result in poor visibility for occupants Drive and dazzle for oncoming car drivers.
“Porsche does not believe that the transverse adjustment will be abused by the customer. However, it is possible that someone inadvertently adjusted the lower beam horizontal adjustment mechanism to an inappropriate setting,” the Porsche defect report said. know. “Inappropriate horizontal targeting can create glare for other drivers or reduce the driver’s field of vision. This can increase the risk of an accident.”
The problem arose because assemblers were not required to install the cap after adjusting the headlight at the factory during assembly. This is a minor issue as defects appear and are unlikely to cause problems for owners if they have never attempted to adjust their own headlights. Dealers will inspect units and install covers as needed, assuming that the customer has no problems resolved during a previous service visit. Those who are already eligible for a refund if any arise.
