What happened

Ohlins USA, Inc. is recalling certain front struts sold as part of two strut kits (POZ MN02 and POZ MN05) designed for 1999-2005 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 and 4S models, 2001-2006 Porsche 911 Turbo/Turbo S models, 2005-2012 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 and 4S models, and 2006-2013 Porsche 911 Turbo/Turbo S models. The strut pin may break under excessive stress during maximum steering, which could cause the strut to separate from the vehicle and affect vehicle control, increasing crash risk.

Ohlins will notify owners who purchased the affected kits. Owners will receive replacement front struts and new top mount interface solutions at no charge. Unsold kits in dealer inventory will be returned for full refunds. The recall began December 22, 2020. Affected owners should contact Ohlins customer service at 1-800-336-9029.
