Details

What's wrong: Certain passenger vehicles fitted with front seat backs, which do not meet Porsche's strength standards.

Why it matters: In the event of a vehicle crash, the seats could twist, tilting on one side to the rear, possibly resulting in personal injury to the vehicle occupant.

The fix: Dealers will replace both the front seats. Owner notification began on April 26, 2004. Owners should contact Porsche at 1-800-545-8039.
