991.2 4S Power Steering and Rear-Axle Steering Failure
Hi All - I started up my 4S (2017) the other day to be greeted by two faults in the power steering and the rear-axle steering. I can drive the car, but obviously no power steering. Bringing it in late this week to the dealer to get it checked out. Pics of the faults below. Anyone else had this issue? Thanks!

When I was specing my car I was talking to my good friend that works at the local Porsche dealer.
Inasked him about the RAS and if I should spec it.
He said that it does wonders to the steering of the car but he has seen a few issues with its electronic chip that causes failure at times. It’s not a major problems he said but a problem that does exist.
im an engineer, a SW eng but I know that the more we add to higher chance of a fault.
You shouldn’t be too worried about it, they will either resent it or have it replaced. It’s basically the unit that sync the rear movement with the right input.
