Porsche 911 Turbo Recalls (Recent)
The Seat Belt Anchors May Not Rotate as They Should
Body, Interior & Misc., August 3, 2011
RepairPal Expert Overview:
The mounting holes in the seat belt anchor plates may be too small. If the hole diameter is too small, the anchor cannot rotate around the fastening bolt as designed. If this were to occur, the seat belt may not be routed optimally around the seat occupant, or it may loosen at some point, increasing the risk of injury during a crash. Dealers will inspect the anchor plates and fastening screws and, if necessary, replace the seat belt. The Porsche recall number is AB02.
Wheels May Loosen on Vehicles with Central Locking Hubs
Suspension & Steering, June 9, 2011
RepairPal Expert Overview:
Some vehicles were equipped with center locking hub and wheel assemblies. Over time, the hubs can wear prematurely. As the hubs wear, the wheels could loosen, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will replace the central locking wheels and hubs with an improved design. Porsche has not yet provided an owner notification schedule. The Porsche recall number is AB01.
