Rear-visibility system issue
BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA
Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (Porsche) is recalling certain 2019-2025 Cayenne, Cayenne E-Hybrid, 2020-2025 911, Taycan, 2024-2025 Panamera, and 2025 Panamera E-Hybrid vehicles. The rearview camera image may not display when the vehicle is placed in reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rear Visibility."
Consequence
A rearview image that does not display properly reduces the driver's view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

How this compares
At 19 MPG combined, the 2023 Porsche Cayenne ranks 5th of 5 standard SUVs (4WD) EPA rated for 2023 — 3 MPG short of the 22 MPG median for that group.
That places it among the thirstiest vehicles in its class. If annual mileage is high, the running-cost gap against a class-average rival compounds quickly.
EPA puts annual fuel spend at about $4,000, $400 more than the $3,600 typical for the class. Over five years at 15,000 miles a year that is roughly $20,000, a $2,000 difference against a class-median vehicle.
Tailpipe CO₂ is 466 grams per mile — about 7 metric tons over 15,000 miles of driving.
