Defect description

Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (Porsche) is recalling certain 2020 911 Carrera S, 2021 Taycan Turbo, and 2022 911 Carrera vehicles. Due to a process error in the car body production line, various welds may be missing from the vehicle body.

Safety risk

In the event of a crash, incomplete body welding may not provide adequate protection to occupants, increasing the risk of injury.
