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.
The rear seat belts have a locking mode you use to hold a child seat tightly in place. On these cars that lock can release too early, so the belt goes slack and the child seat is no longer held firmly against the seat. In a crash, a child seat that can shift around will not protect the child the way it is meant to. The dealer will inspect the rear three-point belts and replace them if needed, at no charge to you.
A mistake on the body assembly line means some of the welds that hold the car's structure together may have been left out. You cannot see or feel this, and the car drives normally. It matters in a crash: a body that was not fully welded may not hold up the way it was designed to, so people inside could be hurt worse than they otherwise would be. Dealers inspect the body and add any missing welds, free of charge.
A rod inside the brake booster — the part that links your brake pedal to the rest of the braking system — may be loose and could come apart. If that happens, the brake pedal fails, so pressing it will not slow or stop the car. This affects certain 2020-2021 911 Carrera and Taycan models. Dealers will inspect the brake booster and repair or replace it, free of charge. Owner letters went out in late October 2021.
The upper control arm is one of the metal links that holds the rear wheel in place and lets the suspension move. It bolts to the car with a screw connection, and on these cars that connection may be loose. A loose connection can eventually fail. If it does, the rear of the car can move in ways you do not expect, making the car unstable and hard to control. Dealers will rework and tighten the connection at no charge.
The bracket that holds the front differential, the gearbox that sends power to the front wheels, may not have been tightened correctly. If it works loose, the differential can shift around and bang into nearby parts, including the fuel tank and the drive shafts. A damaged fuel tank can leak gasoline, and leaking fuel near anything hot or sparking can start a fire. Your dealer will remove the unit, check the bolt threads, look for damage, and reinstall or replace it.
A software error in these 2020 911 Carrera models means the hazard warning lights may not come on when you press the button. Those are the four-way flashers you use to warn other drivers when you are stopped on the road, broken down, or slowing suddenly. If they do not come on, drivers behind you may not realize your car is a hazard. A dealer will reprogram the control unit so the flashers work normally again.
On some 2019 911 GT2 RS and 2020 911 Carrera S Coupe cars, the bolts that hold the driveshaft to the wheel hub may not have been tightened enough at the factory. The driveshaft is the part that spins the wheel and makes the car move. If those bolts are loose, the driveshaft can come apart from the wheel hub while you are driving. Porsche dealers will tighten the connection properly at no cost.
