2010 PORSCHE PANAMERA
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Porsche Cars North America is recalling certain 2010 Porsche Panamera S, 4S, and Turbo 4-door sedans because of a defect in the front seat belt anchoring system. If the front seats are adjusted to extreme positions, the locking mechanism that secures the seat belt mount may not function properly, and the seat belt mount could detach from the anchoring system when the seat belt is fastened or opened. In a crash, this defect could prevent the seat belt from providing adequate protection to the occupant, potentially increasing the risk of injury or death.
To remedy this defect, dealers will install an additional locking element on the seat belt anchoring system for both front seats at no charge. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Porsche at 1-800-545-8039 to schedule this service.
