Active Rear Spoiler / Aerodynamic System
Caution — Service soon
What It Means
The active rear spoiler or aerodynamic system has a fault. The spoiler may not deploy at speed, affecting high-speed stability. This primarily affects sports cars with active aero (e.g., Porsche, Audi TT, Bugatti).
Common Causes
- Spoiler mechanism jammed or obstructed
- Spoiler motor or actuator fault
- Control module fault
- Fuse blown for spoiler circuit
Can I Still Drive?
Yes at normal speeds. Avoid high-speed driving if your vehicle relies on active aero for stability. Most vehicles default the spoiler to a safe (deployed or retracted) position when a fault is detected.
