Is your vehicle included? Check with your VIN at MLIT, or ask a dealer. This page is an independent copy of the notice, kept so you can see what changed after it was published. It is not the authority, and the authority’s own text is the one to act on.

What the ministry says is wrong

フロントボディコントロールユニットのソフトウェアにおいて、ヘッドライト光軸のプログラム設定指示が不適切なため、霧中走行用ヘッドライト機能が作動している場合、運転席側のヘッドライトの光軸が僅かに低い状態となり、高速走行用ヘッドライト機能が作動している場合においては、両側のヘッドライトの光軸が僅かに高い状態となる。そのため、保安基準に適合しない。

What is to be done about it

全車両、フロントボディコントロールユニットを対策ソフトウェアに書き換える。

The two passages above are quoted in Japanese because that is the language the ministry published them in. This site keeps the wording a register had when it was read, and does not translate a safety notice.

Source: Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism website （出典：国土交通省ウェブサイト）, used under the Public Data License 1.0. This site gathered the record, grouped it by notification number and set it in English around the ministry's own words; the notice itself is unaltered. CarsMultiverse is not the ministry and not a safety authority. To act on this notice, use the ministry's own document.

The Japanese register on this site

ポルシェ elsewhere in this register

ポルシェ is named on 133 notices in the copy of MLIT’s register held here, of which these are the nearest to this one in time.

The same part: 前照灯

161 notices in this register name 前照灯. A defect that keeps returning under one heading is worth reading as a group rather than one notice at a time.

Reading this against the source

This page is what MLIT published in the recall notices it publishes, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /japan, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.

This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Japanese recalls on a Porsche: 135 in the register, and 380 Japanese vehicle recall notifications filed in 2025.

A small badge that links here and names the register's reference. It costs one line of HTML and needs no key.

The badge is free to use. It links to this page and nowhere else, and it never shows advertising.

No register publishes what happens after the letter. Owners do: tell us, in two taps.
