Porsche software error in the rear spoiler control unit may allow both the vehicle and spoiler center high-mounted brake lights to activate simultaneously when the rear spoiler is manually deployed at speeds below 56 MPH (90 km/h).
The short version
Porsche Cars North America, Inc. reported a problem with the exterior lighting brake lights. Here is what owners need to know.
A software error in the rear spoiler control unit may allow both the vehicle and spoiler center high-mounted brake lights to activate simultaneously when the rear spoiler is manually deployed at speeds below 56 MPH (90 km/h). As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
Simultaneous activation of both center high-mounted brake lights may cause confusion for other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
Take it to a dealer — they will reprogram the rear spoiler control unit, free of charge.
