The key-lock-cable in your vehicle connects your ignition key to the gear selector. There's a chance it was set up incorrectly, which could cause problems when you turn your key or shift gears.
Risk if Unfixed
If the selector lever is shifted out of 'P' without the parking brake on, your vehicle could roll away, increasing the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your authorized Porsche dealer will inspect the cable adjustment and make any necessary adjustments, free of charge. You should schedule this inspection and adjustment as soon as you receive your recall notice.
