Porsche 911 Faces Two New Recall Announcements | Carscoops

      One recall pertains to headlights that can cause glare, while the other relates to seat belt bolts.

      Porsche is initiating recalls for the 2025 and 2023 models of the 911 due to two distinct problems.

      The latest iteration of the sports car features headlights that may blind drivers approaching from the opposite direction. Additionally, some 2023 Porsche 911s have rear seat belt bolts that may not be securely fastened.

      The Porsche 911 is being recalled for two separate issues affecting certain models, which have faulty software or bolts that might not be adequately tightened. These problems elevate the risk of accidents or injuries.

      Regarding the 2025 Porsche 911, 878 units are being recalled due to a software malfunction in the front-end electronics control module. This error causes the low beam headlights to generate glare for other drivers.

      As for the recall percentage, it is believed that all units in question are affected, indicating an issue with the advanced headlights. According to the government, “When the rear fog light button is activated and the vehicle speed is below 60 kph (37 mph), the driver’s side low beam is lowered” by 0.57°. This change leads to “photometric output deviation,” which can potentially dazzle oncoming motorists.

      Because this issue is software-related, the remedy is fairly simple; dealers will update the front-end electronics control module. Owners can expect to receive notifications by early to mid-April.

      The second recall affects 279 units of the 2023 Porsche 911. These vehicles have rear seat belt buckle bolts that might not have been adequately secured. Consequently, the connection could loosen over time and may fail in the event of a collision.

      This problem has been attributed to employee oversight, with the “incorrect positioning of aluminum butyl mats … traced back to certain production shifts.” Porsche first became aware of the issue in August 2023, but initially regarded it as an isolated case.

      Nonetheless, the company opted to continue monitoring the situation and investigate the potential effects of incorrectly fastened bolt connections on the aluminum butyl mat. As time went on, Porsche discovered “13 problematic cases in production.”

      Owners will be informed in April and instructed to bring their vehicles to a dealership, where technicians will inspect and tighten the rear seat belt buckle bolts, and reposition the aluminum butyl soundproofing mat as necessary.
