2 recalls covering model years 2020, 2023. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls — a recall may apply only to some vehicles of a given year.
Porsche is recalling certain 911 vehicles. The rear seat belts have a locking feature that is meant to hold a child seat firmly in place. On these vehicles that lock can switch off too early, so the child seat may not end up properly secured. Because of this, these vehicles do not meet the federal safety standard for occupant crash protection. Dealers will look at the rear three-point belts and replace them where needed.
Porsche is recalling certain 911 Carrera vehicles over a problem that happened when the car bodies were built. Because of an error in the production line process, various welds may be missing from the body of the vehicle. Welds are what join the metal panels and frame pieces together. Dealers will inspect the welds and repair them if needed, at no cost, and Porsche is mailing letters to owners.
Recalls and NHTSA owner complaints for each model year, side by side. Complaints are unverified owner reports, and better-selling or older years naturally collect more — read this as a record, not a ranking.

| 2020 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 6 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
