NHTSA recall 21V131000
Air Bags · Porsche Cars North America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Porsche cars north america, Inc. (Porsche) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Macan, Macan Turbo kits, Macan GTS, 2015-2018 Macan S, and Macan Turbo vehicles. The front passenger seat occupancy sensor mat may degrade and fail to detect a passenger in the front seat.
Why it matters: The air bag will not deploy during a crash if a front passenger is undetected, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix: Porsche will notify owners, and dealers will replace the sensor mat and seat cushion, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 25, 2021.
