Seat-Belt Flaw Prompts Porsche Recall


Porsche AG has recalled 887 of its vehicles, including 235 cars in the U.S., for a seat-belt flaw.

The mounting holes for seat-belt anchor plates may be too small, meaning the plate may not rotate around the fastening bolt as designed when tightening the belt.  In the event of an accident, a loose belt may not protect riders and could result in serious head, neck and chest injuries or death. 

Both 2011 GT3 RS and 911 Speedsters as well as 2012 model year 911 Carreras, 911 Targas, 911 Turbos, Boxsters and Caymans are included in the Porsche recall.

According to a U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration safety notice, the sports cars affected by this recall are two-door coupes made from May 31 to June 10.
