FASTENING NUTS TO SECURE THE DRIVE SHAFT AND WHEEL HUB ON THE REAR AXLE ARE INCORRECTLY COATED
Incorrectly coated nuts were used to secure the drive shaft and wheel hub on the rear axle.
Replace the fastening nuts and torque to specification.
ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING WIRE COULD BECOME TRAPPED BETWEEN THE CROSS BEAM AND UNDERFLOOR COVER
The electric power steering harness could become trapped and damaged.
Check and replace the electric power steering harness if necessary.
POTENTIAL MALFUNCTION OF THE A/C BLOWER CONTROL UNIT
Possible short circuits in the heater blower control unit.
Inspect and where necessary replace the control unit.
INADEQUATE CONNECTION BETWEEN LOWER LONGITUDINAL MEMBER AND CROSS MEMBER
Inadequate connection between the lower longitudinal member and cross member.
Secure the lower longitudinal member to the cross member using additional blind rivets.
THE AIRBAG SENSORS IN THE SIDE MEMBERS ON THE VEHICLE MAY NOT BE SCREWED TIGHTLY ENOUGH
There is a possibility that the side airbag sensors are not tightened to specification.
Check both side airbag sensors and rework the fixing where necessary.

MISSING ASSIGNMENT WITHIN THE SOFTWARE OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
Brake pad wear warning light function is incorrect.
Update software of instrument cluster.
MISSING ASSIGNMENT WITHIN THE SOFTWARE OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
Brake pad wear warning light function is incorrect.
Update software of instrument cluster.
IF FUEL NOZZLE IS TURNED OR NOT INSERTED FULLY INTO FILLER TUBE FUEL CAN GET INTO CARBON CANISTER IN FUEL TANK SYSTEM
Fuel may enter the carbon canister whilst refuelling.
Replace fuel filler tube and carbon canister.
ELECTRIC POWER STEERING MAY SPORADICALLY BE UNAVAILABLE FOR A LIMITED PERIOD OF TIME
Electric power steering may be unavailable.
Re-programme power steering control unit with software upgrade.
CONNECTING LINKS ON THE REAR AXLE ANTI ROLL BAR
The connecting links on the rear axle anti roll bar cannot be ensured over the life of the vehicle. This may lead to noise and an activated yellow warning light. This may impair the function which is characterised by greater understeer and increased roll behaviour.
Replacement of the links on the anti roll bar.
LONGITUDINAL AND TRANSVERSE CONTROL ARMS MAY BE PRONE TO CORROSION
Internal tests have shown that the longitudinal and transverse control arms installed on the affected vehicles may be prone to corrosion. The durability of these components cannot therefore be unequivocally guaranteed. f the fastening bolts on the longitudinal and transverse control arms crack due to corrosion vehicle handling in extreme situations e.g. during race track driving may be restricted and this can increase the risk of an accident.
The affected components on the vehicles will therefore be replaced by components made of more robust material.
ACCELERATOR PEDAL MAY BE INSTALLED INCORRECTLY
On affected vehicles there is the possibility the electric plug connection of the accelerator pedal module is not secured correctly due to an assembly error. The assembly error could potentially lead to a loosening of the contact of the electric plug connection of the accelerator pedal and as a result throttle response may no longer be available. If this happens while driving the vehicle will decelerate to a walking pace and it can only be moved with the engine power available at idle speed.
To prevent this from occuring correct locking of the electric plug connection of the accelerator pedal has to be checked and confirmed by a Porsche dealership.
VEHICLE MAY NOT MEET REQUIRED SAFETY STANDARDS
Necessary technical acceptance not carried out by Porsche AG prior to sale of certain Porsche company cars. As a result one pre-owned vehicle does not comply to the latest standards and related quality standards.
The one car affected will be bought back by Porsche AG through their Porsche centre network.
PARTICLE FILTER BRACKET MAY DETACH
There is a possibility the clamp between the particle filter and the front exhaust pipe is not closed fully due to an unfavourable tolerance pairing.The particle filter could become detached from the exhaust pipe when travelling over bumps for example. This can then cause exhaust gas to leak out and rattling noises. If this happens the customer will notice an exhaust smell and the pre-mentioned noise.
Affected vehicles will be recalled so the clamp can be checked. Where necessary relevant components will be replaced.
INCORRECT DETONATORS FITTED TO FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAGS
Incorrect passenger air bag detonators were installed during manufacturer. this may adversely affect the airbag's deployment in the event of an impact.
On affected vehicles replace the passenger's air bag module.
INCORRECT DETONATORS FITTED TO FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAGS
Incorrect passenger air bag detonators were installed during manufacturer. this may adversely affect the airbag's deployment in the event of an impact.
On affected vehicles replace the passenger's air bag module.
FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAGS MAY BE DEACTIVATED
The seat occupancy detector system may not be to the correct standard and the passenger's airbags may be deactivated
On affected vehicle replace the sensor mat.
BONDING ON WINDSCREEN IS INSUFFICIENT
On 911 Cabriolet and Targa models only the windscreen may have been fitted with insufficient bonding product. There is a possibility that the windscreen could detach from the vehicle in the event of an accident.
Recall the likely affected vehicles and rebond the windscreen.

Recall the likely affected vehicles and rebond the windscreen.
FUEL INJECTION PIPES MAY BECOME INSECURE
The screws retaining the fuel collection pipe(s) may shear under stress. This may allow the pipe(s) to separate from the injector(s) and cause fuel to leak.
On affected vehicle replace the collection pipes' securing screws
FUEL INJECTION PIPES MAY BECOME INSECURE
The screws retaining the fuel collection pipe(s) may shear under stress. This may allow the pipe(s) to separate from the injector(s) and cause fuel to leak.
On affected vehicle replace the collection pipes' securing screws
FUEL MAY LEAK
The high fuel pressure that builds up in the injection system when the engine is running can cause cracking and ultimately press the relevant fuel collection pipe off the injectors. This can cause a fuel leak in the engine compartment.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the fastening screws for the fuel collection pipes with different screws.
