The Problem: The bushing that attaches the gear selector lever to the gearbox may degrade over time, causing the bushing to detach and allowing the driver to move the shift lever to Park and remove the ignition key, while the transmission may not be in Park, with no warning message or audible chime. This could cause unexpected movement, increasing the risk of a crash.
The Fix: Dealers will replace the shifter cable bushing for free. Owners are advised to use the parking brake until the repair is performed.
What Owners Should Do: Porsche will begin notifying owners Aug. 11. Owners can call the automaker at 800-767-7243, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236 or visit its website to check their vehicle identification number and learn more.
