Porsche Recalls 15,501 Vehicles for Child Seat Manual Deficiency

Porsche is recalling 15,501 vehicles because the owner's manual lacks specific instructions for installing child restraint systems, which may increase injury risk in a crash.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (improper child seat installation) where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the High severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

Porsche Cars North America, Inc. is recalling certain 2014 Cayman and Cayman S, 2014-2016 911 GT3, 2016 911 GT3 RS and 911 R, 2018 911 GT3 and 911 GT2 RS, and 2019 911 GT3 RS, 911 GT3, and 911 GT2 RS vehicles. The recall involves 15,501 vehicles in total.

The Child Restraint System (CRS) instructions within the Owner's Manual may not provide enough specificity for proper installation. As a result, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 225, "Child Restraint Anchorage Systems." Improper CRS installation increases the risk of an injury to the occupant in the event of a crash.

Porsche will notify owners, and dealers will provide an Owner's Manual supplement with proper CRS installation instructions, free of charge. The recall began February 7, 2020. Owners may contact Porsche customer service at 1-800-767-7243. Porsche's number for this recall is AKC0.
