Defect
Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (Porsche) is recalling certain 2024-2025 Macan Electric vehicles.

Safety risk
Headlights that are excessively bright can reduce visibility for oncoming drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will reprogram the headlight control unit software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 23, 2025. Owners may contact Porsche customer service at 1-800-767-7243. Porsche's number for this recall is ARC5.
