NHTSA orders Porsche Boxster,Cayman,Carrera Air Bag Recall

In another recall, Porsche  is also recalling certain model year 2014 Boxster, Boxster S, Cayman, Cayman S and 911 Carrera (S, Cabriolet, S Cabriolet, 4, 4S, 4 Cabriolet, 4s Cabriolet) vehicles manufactured Sept. 2, 2013, through Sept. 23, 2013.

In the affected vehicles, the passenger seats may be equipped with defective wiring harnesses resulting in intermittent contact with the harness plug.

The intermittent plug may cause the passenger seat frontal and knee airbags may to be deactivated. In the event of a crash necessitating airbag deployment, this may increase the risk of injury to the front passenger.

Porsche will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front passenger seat free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in late November 2013. Owners may contact Porsche at 1-770-290-3500. Porsche’s recall number is AD04

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
