Porsche Macan Recall Shows How We Rely On Technology Too Much

Should we be swapping complicated a simple, time tested solution for cameras and screens?

Porsche is recalling 8,571 Macan Electric models because the reversing camera may be faulty. The problem was discovered in Europe by a dealer that reported it to Porsche to investigate. The issue is a leak in the adhesive holding the camera together that can allow moisture and debris in and affect the image.

Porsche identified the problem as "suspected plasma cleaning issues due to mishandling during production," and that rearview cameras could be affected, traceable to specific batches. Porsche’s Product Safety department got involved in potentially affected markets, which includes the US, as the NHTSA is involved.
