Recall Up Date: Porsche Cayenne, Nissan Murano. & Rogue

Over 20,000 2011 and 2012 Porsche Cayenne SUVs will be recalled effective immediately, due to a design flaw in the headlights that can cause them to come loose and detach from the vehicle’s fender. Nissan is also recalling the 2012 Murano and 2012 Rogue due to the Tire Pressure Monitoring System not being activated at the factory.

Porsche Cayenne Headlight Recall

The Problem: Certain 2011 and 2012 model year Porsche Cayenne, Cayenne S, Cayenne S Hybrid, and Cayenne Turbo models are being recalled due headlights that may come loose and detach from the fender. According to Porsche, its in-house quality investigations discovered that in rare cases an incorrectly locked headlight module can become detached, causing loss of visibility.

The Fix: Porsche will begin notifying owners of affected vehicles immediately, and will replace the headlamp locking assembly free of charge. Porsche will also be reworking around 100,000 Cayennes on the production line to prevent this issue from reoccurring. Porsche expects the fix to take around 45 minutes at the dealer. Owners can contact Porsche at 1-800-767-7243 if they have any questions.

Number of Vehicles Affected: 20,278 Porsche Cayennes are affected including the Cayenne, Cayenne S, Cayenne S Hybrid, and Cayenne Turbo. These vehicles were built between March 8, 2010 and January 31, 2012.

Nissan Murano and Rogue TPMS Recall

The Problem: Certain 2012 model year Nissan Murano and Rogue models were manufactured without the activation of their Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). This results in a failure to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards because a non-active TPMS cannot warn a driver about an underinflated tire. This could potentially lead to a blowout (not the Jersey Shore kind), and a crash.

The Fix: All affected vehicles are currently in dealer inventory. Nissan dealers will re-flash the Murano and Rogue ECUs, activating the Tire Pressure Monitoring System.

Number of Vehicles Affected: There are 2983 Nissan Muranos and Rogues built between November 23, 2011 and January 11, 2012 affected by this recall.
