Plain-English summary

Porsche Cars North America, Inc. is recalling certain 2017-2018 Porsche Cayenne and Macan vehicles equipped with the optional ski bag. The recall covers specific models including the Cayenne Turbo S, Cayenne Turbo, Cayenne Plug-in Hybrid, Cayenne GTS, Cayenne Plug-in Hybrid Platinum Edition, Macan Turbo, and Macan GTS, as well as 2017-2018 Cayenne S, Macan, Cayenne Platinum Edition, and Macan S vehicles.

The defect involves the ski bag fastening strap, which may have been sewn with incorrect thread. This can cause the strap seams to tear, leaving the ski bag unsecured in the event of a crash. If the ski bag detaches during a crash, it can increase the risk of injury.
