AUGUST 2011 -- 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. 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. 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 is expected to begin during
September 2011. Porsche's safety recall number is AB02. 11V-409
JUNE 2011 -- Porsche is recalling certain
model year 2010-2011, 911
Turbo; Turbo S, 911 GT3, GT3
RS and GT2 RS high
performance vehicles,
manufactured from May 18,
2009 through September 17,
2010, and 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 hubs and wheels with
an improved design, free of
charge. The safety recall
began on June 28, 2011.

APRIL 2010 -- Porsche has notified NHTSA of
a defect in certain model year 2010 Panamera S, 4S and Turbo 4-door sedan. If
the front seats are adjusted towards an extreme position, resulting in
unfavorable tolerance of the mating components, it is possible that the function
of the locking mechanism of the seat belt mount can no longer be guaranteed. The
seat belt mount could detach from the anchoring system when the seat belt is
fastened or opened. In the event of a crash, the seat belt may not provide
adequate protection for the seat occupant, which may increase the risk of injury
or death. Dealers will have an additional locking element installed on the seat
belt anchoring system for both front seats. This service will be performed free
of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule.

MARCH 2010 - Porsche has notified NHTSA
of a defect in certain model
year 2011 Boxster Spyder 2
door convertible passenger
vehicles. It is possible
that the locking hook on the
sun shield (temporary soft
top) may not engage
correctly into the lock
catch which is positioned on
the windscreen frame of the
vehicle. If the sun shield
is not fully locked, the sun
shield can open when
travelling at higher speeds
increasing the risk of a
crash. Dealers will have
both the locking hook and
lock catch replaced with
redesigned components. This
service will be performed
free of charge. The safety
recall is expected to begin
during April 2010.

DECEMBER 2007
-- Porsche is recalling 37 MY 2008
911 GT3 and GT3RS 2-door coupe vehicles. The switch console for
the Porsche active suspension management (PASM) and the traction
control (TC-OFF) switches was inappropriately installed. The
LEDs in the switches can signal a functional change in the PASM
mode or the deactivation of traction control even though the
switches are not actuated. If the traction control or active
stability management system are inadvertently disabled, and the
subsequent warning lamp illumination in the instrument panel
onboard computer is unnoticed by the driver, the safety benefits
of these systems would be unavailable to the driver which could
increase the possibility of a crash during aggressive driving
maneuvers. Dealers will replace the switch console. The
manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule
for this campaign. 07V-557
FEBRUARY 2008
-- Porsche is recalling
5,573 MY 2008 Cayenne V6
vehicles. A fuel line in the
plenum panel area may
contact the rear engine
compartment cover. Relative
movements of the engine
while driving may cause
knocking noises and chafing
on the fuel line. A fuel
leak may develop. Fuel
leakage in the presence of
an ignition source can
result in a fire. Dealers
will reroute the fuel line
and install an additional
spacer ring free of charge.
The recall is expected to
begin during March 2008.
