Porsche has recalled about 3,000 sports cars from 911 model years 2021 through 2024 because their seat-mounted airbags may deploy in minor collisions when they aren’t needed. Porsche says the misfire can cause “ancillary injuries.”
Porsche sells the 911 with several different models of seats. The recall applies only to 911 cars with what Porsche calls “Full Bucket Seats.” The company is aware of four occurrences in which drivers or passengers may have received spleen injuries from airbag deployments. None of the incidents happened in the United States.
Dealers will fix the problem by reprogramming the system that controls the airbags.
By law, recall repairs are always free.
Automakers try to reach every owner with recall notices, but some always slip through the cracks. That leaves millions of Americans driving cars with safety defects they could get repaired free of charge. Find out if your car has any unaddressed recalls at our recall center.
