What's wrong, in plain English

Certain Porsche vehicles have suspension parts, such as nuts and bolts, that may not have been tightened correctly when the vehicle was built. These parts can loosen, and a suspension component can come loose or detach from the vehicle. A suspension component that comes loose can cause a sudden loss of vehicle stability and control, which increases the chance of a crash.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your vehicle is included.
2. Contact a Porsche dealer, or call Porsche customer service at 1-800-767-7243.
3. The inspection and repair of the suspension bolts, and any damaged parts, is free.

Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 21V157000.
