What's wrong, in plain English
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.
What you should do
2. Contact a Porsche dealer for the inspection, or call Porsche customer service at 1-800-767-7243 (Porsche's recall number is ARA2).
3. The inspection and any replacement are free of charge.
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 24V123000.
