FRONT SIDE AIRBAGS MAY BE IMPAIRED
It has been identified that the front side airbags may have been fitted with the incorrect detonators. If the vehicle is involved in a collision then the airbags may not operate as intended.
Recall all affected vehicles to replace the front side airbags with a quality assured replacement.

Recall all affected vehicles to replace the front side airbags with a quality assured replacement.
LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL
It has been identified that the durability of the lower trailing arm cannot be guaranteed. The arm can start to crack or fracture which if used on race track use or similar events can cause the arm to fail and result in loss of control of the vehicle.
Recall all the affected vehicles to replace the lower trailing arms with a more durable component.
REDUCED BRAKE PERFORMANCE
A vacuum supply line for the brake booster may not have been fitted correctly. The vacuum supply line could become loose resulting in reduced braking assistance. The brakes will still work but the driver will have to supply additional input for the required brake effort.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected where the connection points of the vacuum supply line will be checked/adjusted/replaced as necessary.

SEAT BELT RESTRAINT FUNCTION MAY BE IMPAIRED IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION
On affected vehicles the incorrect type of bolt may have been supplied during repair work involving the removal of the seat belt mount or belt reel.
Check type of bolt fitted and replace where necessary.
BRAKING EFFICIENCY MAY BE REDUCED
The circlip on the bearing bracket for the pedals may detach. If this occurs the brake pedal will become unsecured axially and come out of one of the two bearings leading to decreased brake functionality.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the fitment of the circlip and replaced as necessary.
FUEL MAY LEAK
Fuel may leak from the low pressure fuel line connector. A very small number of reports where the occupants noticed a smell of fuel have prompted the recall. There is a theoretical/perceived risk of fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the low pressure fuel line.
POSSIBILITY OF FIRE
The wiring harness for the left hand radiator could be touching a heat guide plate made of carbon fibre. Therefore the harness could be damaged causing the radiator fan to stop working and an electric short circuit to the low resistance heat guide plate cannot be ruled out. This electric short circuit can cause the vehicle to catch fire even a long time after stopping the vehicle.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the routing of the wiring harness and the harness condition. The harness must be secured to the water tube using an additional tie wrap clamp. If the wire harness is damaged it must also be repaired.
FUEL MAY LEAK - POSSIBILITY OF FIRE
Fuel may leak from the injector fuel rails. Occupants may notice a smell and though small there is a risk of fire.
Replace injector fuel rails

Replace injector fuel rails
FRONT AXLE COMPONENT PARTS MAY CRACK
The front axle has been fitted with chassis components whose durability cannot be guaranteed. The lower control arms can start to crack and eventually break which will result in the vehicle handling being impaired.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the lower control arms.
BONNET CATCH ASSEMBLY MAY FAIL
On affected vehicles the upper part of the catch mechanism fitted to the front luggage compartment lid may not be secured to the correct specification. The mechanism may become detached from the lid allowing it to open unintentionally.
Replace upper part of catch mechanism and secure with new screws

DRIVER MAY NEED TO SUPPLY MORE PEDAL FORCE THAN EXPECTED TO STOP THE VEHICLE
The brake servo may have been damaged during installation which would result in reduced pedal assistance whilst the brakes will still function more pedal force will be required to stop the vehicle.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the servo and where necessary replace the servo.
FIRE MAY OCCUR
One or more engine con rod bolts may fail and lead to the crankcase being damaged and in the worst case fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the engine and vehicle specific identification stickers.
FUEL MAY LEAK
The low fuel pressure sensor may not be fully tight. Over the life of the car the sensor may loosen allowing fuel to leak in the engine compartment.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to tighten the low fuel pressure sensor to the correct torque.
TAILPIPE MAY BECOME DETACHED
Internal tests have shown that rear mufflers (silencer) installed on these vehicles do not achieve the required service life. As a result the exhaust tailpipe of the rear muffler can crack on vehicles with higher mileage this can result in the loss of the exhaust tailpipe and represents a danger to other road users
Replace both rear mufflers.

Replace both rear mufflers.
REAR HUB MAY DETACH
Current market observations have shown that the track usage of many vehicles in the 911 model line now comes close to that of pure GT3 racing vehicles. The component stresses associated with race track use and competitive driving are much higher than for a sporty driving style on public roads. The revision intervals for race track use must be observed particularly for highly stressed chassis components in the same way as is required for GT3 racing vehicles. If these revision intervals are not observed the failure of highly stressed components and breakage of hubs on the rear axle for example cannot be ruled out particularly in the case of components in advanced stages of wear.
In order to standardise revision intervals the wheel hubs on the rear axle will be replaced by standard wheel hubs on the affected vehicles with central wheel lock
FIRE MAY OCCUR
The turbo chargers fitted to the affected vehicles may not be manufactured to the required standard. The result of one or both of the turbo chargers failing is rough running and lack of power. In the worst case scenario there is a possibility that fire could occur.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the turbo chargers.
