The company has also issued a recall notice to the relevant authorities, and affected owners will be contacted directly by Porsche.

In the meantime, Porsche is advising drivers of the affected vehicles to stop using them until the issue has been resolved.

The company is investigating the cause of the defect and will provide further updates as they become available.
