4 units affected
Issue: On a small number of vehicles, the rear outboard seat belt anchor bolts may not have been properly tightened. As a result, the rear outboard seat belts could loosen or detach in a crash. Safety Risk: A seat belt that detaches in a crash could create an increased risk of injury. Corrective Actions: Porsche will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the left and right rear seat belt anchor bolts.
Lights And Instruments#2022487August 31, 2022
58,856 units affected
Issue: On certain vehicles, covers were not installed over the horizontal headlamp adjusters. As a result, the headlamps may be adjusted horizontally. Canadian regulations do not allow for horizontal headlamp adjustment unless the vehicle is equipped with a built-in aiming device. Safety Risk: Headlamps that are not properly adjusted could cause reduced visibility or glare for oncoming drivers, and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Porsche will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to install caps over the headlamp adjustment screws.
