Porsche passenger occupant detection sensor mat may fail in the front passenger seat, deactivating the front passenger air bag.
The short version
Porsche Cars North America, Inc. reported a problem with the sensor occupant classification. Here is what owners need to know.
The passenger occupant detection sensor mat may fail in the front passenger seat, deactivating the front passenger air bag. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."
In the event of a crash, if the front passenger air bag does not deploy as intended, the front passenger has an increased risk of injury.
Porsche will notify owners, and dealers will replace the sensor mat and seat cushion, free of charge.
