Interior Alarm Fix (WNB4)

[yman182]

Not sure if anyone else got this today, but it looks like Porsche finally has an update for the interior alarm.


Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (PCNA) has developed an updated interior alarm monitoring system specifically for your 2021 or 2022 Taycan. We are contacting you because this update is now available to you FREE at your Porsche Dealer. The campaign to install this software is called the WNB4 Campaign.



What is the issue?
It is possible that the main LTE antenna can interfere with the sensor for interior surveillance, which could lead to the unwarranted triggering of the vehicle alarm system.



What will Porsche do?
Your Porsche Dealer will install an updated interior surveillance sensor and re-code the rear-end electronics control unit at no charge to you.



What should you do?
Please contact your local Porsche dealer as soon as possible to schedule an appointment to have your vehicle updated at NO CHARGE TO YOU, and to arrange in advance for a Porsche loaner vehicle should you require alternate transportation during the repair

Yup, I just got the same email. Happy that they finally figured out the definitive issue and have a fix ready. Mine was going in already for some other issues and will now have this done too. No more random false alarms! Yea!!

 

[yman182]

Yeah. Lucky for me I only had it happened twice within the first week of getting the car. After that it has not been an issue. Hopefully this fixes the issue for people that have it occur chronically.

This is the same as the fix some of us had already with the replacement part right? I got the letter even though they have swapped mine already.

Received this earlier also, and the dealer says they are unable to get the part...

I also got the email. Hopefully the replacement sensor is in stock. Not sure why they would say in their email to contact our local dealer ASAP if it wasn’t.

 

[yman182]

I hope so also. I am 3 weeks out from my appointment, so hopefully they will tell me if they do not have the sensor so I dont waste my time.

Does the TSB list affected VINs?

My dealer has been waiting for the part, let them know I got this email today, parts still on back order

 

[Ambroos]

Does the TSB list affected VINs?

It includes pretty recent ones. Mine (produced mid-January, PDI Friday) needs it too.

Where can one find out if they’re eligible? I haven’t received an email, but I have had the internal alarm go off a few times.

 

[Archimedes]

Got it today. Add it to the list of things they’ll need to do when my car goes in for its two year check up. 18 months from now.

Does this apply in Europe?

 

[ab521]

Dealer called this morning and said they got the parts, car going in Friday, will see if this fixes it

My dealer has the part (after I enquired) but I've had zero issues with alarms so not sure I actually need it - that said probably can't hurt to get it so I scheduled mid-May (sufficiency after my ongoing customizations predicted to be done end 1st week of May). Knowing my luck installing this will induce a defective alarm!!
