Recalls

2 vehicle recalls from the manufacturer. Repairs are free. Check your VIN to see if one is still open on your car.

Steering Vehicle recall #03V218000 · 2003 · 1,043 vehicles

What's wrong: Certain passenger vehicles May have a loose fitting in the pressure line of the power steering assembly.

Why it matters: If the fitting is loose, the hydraulic fluid could leak out, which could lead to loss of power steering assist and, for vehicles equipped with a manual transmission, loss of clutch assistance. If the leaking fluid comes into contact with hot exhaust components, it could ignite.

The fix: Dealers will tighten the fitting to specifications. Owner notification began on December 1, 2003. Owners should contact Porsche at 1-800-545-8039.

Seats Vehicle recall #04V070000 · 2004 · 1,805 vehicles

What's wrong: Certain passenger vehicles fitted with front seat backs, which do not meet Porsche's strength standards.

Why it matters: In the event of a vehicle crash, the seats could twist, tilting on one side to the rear, possibly resulting in personal injury to the vehicle occupant.

The fix: Dealers will replace both the front seats. Owner notification began on April 26, 2004. Owners should contact Porsche at 1-800-545-8039.
