Porsche Cars North America, INC announced that they will be recalling certain models of the 2008 Porsche 911 GT3. They stated that on certain 2 door coupe vehicles, the switch console for the Porsche active suspension management (PASM) and the traction control (TC-OFF) switches was inappropriately installed. The LEDs in the switches can signal a functional change in the PASM mode or the deactivation of traction control even though the switches are not actuated.

If the traction control or active stability management system are inadvertently disabled, and the subsequent warning lamp illumination in the instrument panel on board computer is unnoticed by the driver, the safety benefits of these systems would be unavailable to the driver which could increase the possibility of a crash during aggressive driving maneuvers.

Dealers will replace the switch console free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule for this campaign. Owners may contact Porsche at 1-800-767-7243.
