Daily snapshot data starts accumulating once the scheduler runs — for now this is interpolated from the agency's first/last dates.

What is this? Some Porsche cars (Panamera and Taycan) have a small air leak in a part that keeps the ride smooth. This can make one side of the car sit lower.

What's happening? The car’s height may drop on one side. This can make driving harder and raise the chance of a crash.

Does this affect me? If you own or drive one of these Porsche models in Germany, Bulgaria, Hungary, Ireland, Norway, Portugal, Sweden, or Slovenia, you may be at risk.

What should I do? Take your car to a Porsche dealer right away. Ask your mechanic or dealer for help before driving it.
