FMVSS 1 : NR FMVSS 2 : NR Description of the Safety Risk : In the subject vehicles equipped with optional Full Bucket Seats, deploying seat-mounted air bag has the potential to cause ancillary injuries in types of crashes in which such deployment is not warranted and also not required by applicable Federal motor vehicle safety standard. Description of the Cause : Existing air bag deployment logic maximizes seat-mounted air bag deployment, including in types of crashes in which such deployment is not warranted or required by applicable Federal motor vehicle safety standards (e.g. frontal crashes with little or no lateral offset). Part 573 Safety Recall Report 23V-715 Page 5 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Identification of Any Warning that can Occur : NA Involved Components : Component Name 1 : Airbag Control Unit Component Description : The airbag control unit is responsible for airbag deployment. Component Part Number : NA Supplier Identification : Component Manufacturer Name : Continental Automotive Technologies Address : Siemensstr. 12 Regensburg Foreign States 93055 Country : Germany Chronology : October 2021: Porsche became aware of an internal race track test drive incident in Thailand in a 992 with full bucket seat and side airbag deployment, which resulted in a spleen injury. – June 2023: Porsche was informed about an accident in Germany in a 992 with full bucket seat and side airbag deployment also during an internal test drive, which also resulted in a spleen injury. Analysis was conducted in order to identify the circumstances of the crash and cause of the injury. – July 2023: Porsche was informed about an accident in the field in Germany (from May 2023) involving a 992 with full bucket seat and side airbag deployment resulting in a spleen injury to a customer. A vehicle inspection was not possible. – August 2023: Porsche was informed about a third internal incident in Germany with the described splenic injury in a 992 with full bucket seats and a side airbag deployment. This case was also analyzed in order to discover the circumstances of the crash and cause of the injury. – Porsche’s analysis to date indicates that while the airbags meet all FMVSS requirements, the airbag control unit deployment strategy for the 992 equipped with full bucket seats may lead to spleen injury, in situations where a side airbag is not mandatory. October 18, 2023 a determination of defect posing an unreasonable risk to safety was made. Part 573 Safety Recall Report 23V-715 Page 6 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Description of Remedy : Description of Remedy Program : Porsche will reprogram the ACU to implement a new seat-mounted air bag deployment logic in the subject vehicles to reduce deployment in types of crashes in which such deployment is not warranted and not required by applicable Federal motor vehicle safety standards. The owner’s letter will not include a statement about customer reimbursement for pre-notification remedies as all of the affected vehicles are still covered under Porsche New Car Limited Warranty. How Remedy Component Differs from Recalled Component : NA Identify How/When Recall Condition was Corrected in Production : The corrected data set was implemented in production in Calendar Week 41. Recall Schedule : Description of Recall Schedule : Customers will be notified of this Recall within 60 days of the filing of this report. If no remedy is available at 60 days, an interim letter will be sent, followed by a final notification when the remedy becomes available. Planned Dealer Notification Date : NOV 02, 2023 – NOV 02, 2023 Planned Owner Notification Date : DEC 22, 2023 – DEC 22, 2023 * NR – Not Reported
