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
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.
