Porsche recalls Macan vehicles and turbo kits

Porsche Cars North America is recalling 39,547 model year 2017-2018 Macan, Macan Turbo Kits, Macan GTS, and model year 2015-2018 Macan S, and Macan Turbo vehicles.

The front passenger seat occupancy sensor mat may degrade and fail to detect a passenger in the front seat.

If a front passenger is undetected, the airbag will not deploy in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

What to do

Porsche will notify owners, and dealers will replace the sensor mat and seat cushion free of charge.

The recall is expected to begin May 2, 2021.

Owners may contact Porsche customer service at (800) 767-7243. Porsche's number for this recall is AMA2.
