Recalls

Good news: Recall repairs are almost always free. Book with any manufacturer dealer and quote the recall number. Transport Canada’s own wording is that a manufacturer “will almost always make these repairs free of charge”, so being asked to pay for recall work is unusual and worth questioning. Since 2018 the Minister of Transport can order a company to pay for repairs so owners do not bear the cost.

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the seat belt reminder chime may not sound to alert you that the front passenger seat belt isn't buckled. Canadian regulations require both a seat belt reminder sound and visual tell-tale when you switch the vehicle on, and the passenger isn't wearing their seat belt.

Why it matters

A seat belt warning that doesn't work correctly may not remind you to ensure that your passenger is buckled. Not wearing a seat belt can increase the risk of injury in a crash.

What the dealer will do

Porsche will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to reprogram the instrument cluster software.

Transport Canada lists: 911 Carrera 2020

What is wrong

On certain cars, the hazard warning lights may not turn on when they are switched on. Specifically, if a driver is in the car with the seat belt unbuckled and the ignition off, after 90 seconds, if an attempt is made to turn on the hazard lights, they may not turn on.

Why it matters

Hazard lights that do not turn on could make the vehicle less visible and increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Porsche will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your car to a dealer to update the control unit software.

Transport Canada lists: 911 Carrera 2020 · 911 GT2 2019 · 911 GT3 2019

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the nut that connects the driveshaft to the wheel hub may not be tightened correctly. Over time, the nut could loosen and may result in the driveshaft disconnecting. This could cause a loss of power to the drive wheels. Additionally, if the parking brake is not applied, this could allow the car to roll away.

Why it matters

A loss of power to the drive wheels or sudden, unexpected movement of the car could increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Porsche will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to replace the nut with a new one and ensure it is tightened correctly.

Source: Transport Canada — Vehicle Recalls Database; NRCan — Fuel consumption ratings. Data current as of 17 September 2026. Running cost uses Ontario average prices (155 ¢/L, 14.5 ¢/kWh), which are hand-maintained estimates. These are average residential rates. A car’s charging is added on top of what your home already uses, so on a tiered, time-of-use or subsidised tariff it is billed at your top rate rather than this average — which makes the real cost higher, especially in the territories.
