    Reported

    Seat Belts › Rear/Other › Retractor

    Model year 2023

    Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (Porsche) is recalling certain 2023 911 Carrera T, 911 Carrera 4 GTS, 911 Carrera GTS, 911 Turbo S, 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet, 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet, 911 Carrera S, 911 Turbo S Cabriolet, 911 Carrera 4, 911 Carrera 4 GTS Cabriolet, 911 Targa 4 GTS, 911 Carrera, 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet, 911 Carrera 4S, 911 Targa 4S, 911 Turbo, and 911 Edition 50 Years Porsche Design vehicles. The seat belt automatic locking retractor (ALR) may deactivate early, which can prevent the child restraint system from securing properly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."

    Consequence:
    An unsecured child restraint system can increase the risk of injury during a crash.
    Remedy:
    Dealers will inspect and replace the rear three-point belts as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 11, 2024. Owners may contact Porsche customer service at 1-800-767-7243. Porsche's number for this recall is ARA2.

  3. NHTSA campaign 11V409000

    Reported

    Seat Belts

    Model year 2012

    Porsche is recalling certain model year 2011 911 speedster and 911 GTS RS 4.0; and model year 2012 boxster (including s and spyder); cayman (including s and r); 911 carrera (including s, GTS, 4, 4S, and 4 GTS); 911 targa 4 and targa 4S; and 911 turbo and turbo s models manufactured from May 31, 2011, through June 10, 2011. There is a possibility that the mounting holes in the seat belt anchor plates fitted to the vehicle are too small. If the hole diameter is too small, the anchor plate may not be able to rotate about the fastening bolt as designed.

    Consequence:
    Should this occur, the seat belt may not be routed optimally around the occupant, or may potentially loosen at some point in the future increasing the risk of injury during a crash.
    Remedy:
    Porsche will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the seat belt anchors and, if necessary, replace the seat belt. The repairs will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on September 2, 2011. Owners may contact Porsche at 1-800-767-7243.

How to read this recall list

This list shows every safety recall campaign NHTSA has on file for this make, model and model year. It is not specific to one vehicle: a recall often covers only vehicles built in a certain date range or with a certain part, and many of the vehicles it covers will already have been repaired.

What each recall field means
What each recall field means
FieldWhat it tells you
Campaign numberNHTSA's unique ID for the recall, such as 20V771000. Quote it to a dealer or when searching NHTSA's site.
ComponentThe system or part involved, for example air bags, brakes or electrical software.
SummaryWhat the defect or non-compliance is and which vehicles are covered.
ConsequenceThe safety risk if the problem isn't fixed.
RemedyWhat the manufacturer will do, such as a repair, replacement or software update, and whether it is free.
  • Some recalls carry an NHTSA consumer advisory, “Do Not Drive” or “Park Outside”. Follow it until the repair is done.
  • A single campaign often covers several models or model years, so the same campaign number can appear in more than one list.
  • Recalls are shown as NHTSA publishes them. Very recent campaigns may take time to appear.
