A German-made seat belt from AutoLiv is out of tolerance, the reason for the Porsche recall.
Porsche in North America is recalling 2011 Model 911 Speedster, 911 GTS RS 4.0 as well as 2012 model Boxster, Cayman and 911 Carrera and 911 Turbo and Turbo S for potentially defective seat belts. In a filing with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Porsche said the mounting holes in the seat belt anchor plates are too small and the anchor plate may not be able to rotate about the fastening bolt as designed.
If this happens, the seat belt may not fit properly around the occupant, or may potentially loosen increasing the risk of injury during a crash.
Porsche dealers will inspect the seat belt anchors and, if necessary, replace the seat belt. The repairs will be performed free of charge as is required by NHTSA’s regulations. Owners may contact Porsche at 1-800-767-7243.
