Porsche Macan and Panamera: The seatbelt is not fixed correctly

15/07/2023

Porsche is recalling 149 Macan and Panamera models built between 2014 and 2023 to workshops worldwide. The reason for the measure is an incorrectly fastened belt end fitting that can lead to the loosening of the connection and limited protection in the rear outboard seats in the event of an accident.

In the workshop, the replacement of the screw connection at the rear belt end fitting lunks and/or right is replaced. The KBA monitors the measure under reference number “012951” and the internal manufacturer code is “APA9“.
