Porsche Taycan and 911 suspension bolts may loosen

NHTSA campaign 21V157000 · Reported 2021-03-10 · Porsche Cars North America, Inc.

high How serious is it? About this label

This is a serious one because a part coming loose can cause a sudden loss of control while you are driving; Porsche does not tell owners to stop driving, but this should be handled right away.

What's wrong, in plain English

Some nuts and bolts holding suspension parts together may not have been tightened properly when the car was built, so they can work loose over time. The suspension is what keeps the wheels attached and pointed the right way. If a loose part comes off, the car can suddenly become unstable and hard to control. Dealers will replace the affected nuts and bolts, check nearby parts for damage, and replace anything damaged, free.

What you should do

1. Look up your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your car falls under recall AMA3. 2. Schedule the inspection and repair with a Porsche dealer as soon as possible, or call 1-800-767-7243. 3. All parts and labor are free of charge.
