Porsche recalled 911 vehicles built between 16 February 2023 and 13 September 2023. Due to a process error in the production an aluminium butyl may have been positioned incorrectly and the screw connection of the rear left and right belt buckle was potentially not executed according to the specifications. The dealer will check the positioning of the aluminium butyl mat on the left and right of the affected vehicles and depending on the test result the screw connection must be reworked. You won't usually pay for it.1
What’s Wrong
Due to a process error in the production an aluminium butyl may have been positioned incorrectly and the screw connection of the rear left and right belt buckle was potentially not executed according to the specifications. If this is the case the correct fastening of the belt buckle cannot be guaranteed. The loosening of the rear belt buckles in the event of an accident or emergency braking cannot be ruled out. This could increase the associated risk of injury.
