7 recalls covering model years 2020, 2021, 2022, 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.
Porsche is recalling certain 911 Carrera and Taycan vehicles because a rod connection in the brake booster may be loose. The rod could come loose and detach completely. If it detaches, the brake pedal can fail, and a failed brake pedal raises the risk of a crash.
On some Porsche 911 models, a screw connection on the rear axle's upper control arm may be loose. A loose connection like this can fail over time, and if it fails, it can make the car unstable while you are driving. Dealers will rework and tighten the screw connection on the rear axle's upper control arm to fix the issue, and this repair will be done free of charge.
Certain 2020 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Coupe vehicles have a front axle differential bracket that may not have been tightened correctly. If it comes loose, the differential could damage nearby components such as the fuel tank or drive shafts. Damage to the fuel tank can cause fuel to leak, which in the presence of an ignition source may increase the risk of a fire.
Certain 2020 Porsche 911 Carrera models, across several coupe and cabriolet versions, have a software error that can prevent the hazard warning lights from turning on when the driver tries to activate them. Instead of flashing to alert other drivers, the hazard lights may simply fail to come on in a situation where the driver needs them.
In some 911 Carrera vehicles, the bolts that connect the driveshaft to the wheel hub may not have been properly tightened. This means the driveshaft could become disconnected from the wheel hub. Porsche dealers will properly tighten this connection between the driveshaft and the wheel hub, and the repair is provided free of charge 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.

The 2020 Porsche 911 Carrera has the most, with 5 recalls. The 2021 model year has the fewest of the years we cover, with 1. Newer model years have had less time to collect recalls, so a low count on a recent year is not a guarantee.
No. None of the 7 Porsche 911 Carrera recalls on file carries a do-not-drive or park-outside advisory from NHTSA.
