Porsche is recalling 173,538 vehicles related to a faulty rearview camera problem. 

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) stated in a Dec. 19 recall notice that a rearview camera image that does not display lowers the driver's "rearward visibility," and can raise the risk of a crash.
