Porsche 911 Carrera 4s: Reduced Brake Performance
Recall Summary Porsche is recalling approximately 140 vehicles from their 911 lineup (including Carrera 4S, Targa, Carrera, and Carrera S models) sold in the United Kingdom. A vacuum supply line for the brake booster may not be properly fitted, which could cause it to loosen and reduce braking assistance—meaning drivers would need to apply more pressure to the brake pedal, though braking would still function. Porsche will inspect, adjust, or replace the vacuum line connection points as needed.
