Porsche PCM Malfunction Lawsuit
Software update damages Porsche vehicle’s computer system
SETTLEMENT REACHED
(THE CLAIMS PERIOD HAS CLOSED)
In 2021, our attorneys filed a class action lawsuit against Porsche alleging that a satellite radio-related software update sent in the spring of 2020 damaged or destroyed vehicles’ Porsche Communication Management System (“PCM”), requiring costly repairs. On June 23, 2023, the court granted final approval of the settlement. The deadline to submit a claim under the settlement has now passed.
Under the settlement, eligible Porsche vehicle owners and lessees who spent time or money dealing with their vehicle’s PCM rebooting problems were able file a claim for reimbursement.
Complete information, including a copy of the Settlement Agreement, can be found on the Settlement Website.
The deadline to submit a claim was August 20, 2024. If you have any questions about the status of your claim or payment, please visit the Settlement Website or call 1-866-905-8126.
Porsche PCM Lawsuit
Porsche’s PCM is the central control unit for all “infotainment” applications, including radio and sound settings, connected mobile devices, navigation system, and voice control. According to the complaint, the software update damaged the PCM computer, causing the unit to continuously reboot, emit a static sound, and drain vehicle batteries. Some Porsche dealerships acknowledged the software update likely caused the problem, but Porsche had initially refused to cover repair or replacement of the PCM—which can total thousands of dollars.
