2016 Porsche Macan Air bags Problems

“A safety recall NHTSA id 21v-131 was issued for our vehicle in october 2021 involving airbag sensors for the front passenger. Several attempts to have the dealer address this recall have been unsuccessful as they do not have the parts to remedy the issue. The last communication with the dealership indicates Porsche has put a hold on the remedy. We are obviously concerned about the safety of those riding in the front passenger seat.”

“My Porsche Service Center advised that the front passenger airbag sensor of my 2016 Porsche Macan Turbo is not functioning properly. The identified fault was: Airbag (variant 002) B12251B Seat occupancy sensor on passenger side (BOSE) - resistance too high I have been advised that NHTSA has issued two recalls on this problem. My Porsche Service Center has advised that the originally installed passenger side occupancy sensor was replaced pursuant to one of the recalls. …”

“A recall was issued for my vehicle in April of 2021. I have contacted my dealer several times to have this repaired, but have been told that the parts are not available. Last time I inquired, i was told to contact Porsche of North America directly regarding the availability of parts. I attempted to do so, but was told that I need to contact the dealer. As the recall relates to possible non-deployment of the passenger airbag, i feel that this issue needs to be addressed more expediently.”

“Car has just passed 60,000 miles and the airbag light went on. I took it for an inspection at the Porsche local dealership. They told me I need to replace the seat cushion, along with the module that comes with it. This is a serious safety concern that I want to report. I do not normally sit in the passenger, nor have passengers. Unfortunately that is the seat light showing airbag isn't working the right way. I did my research and found in 2017 which is right after my model had came out there was a recall but just not for my VIN. …”

“Porsche dashboard leather shrunk and staples pulled out. I was told that if the vehicle was in an accident the airbag might not deploy correctly. The Porsche dealer said it needs replacing. This is a VERY COMMON issue and Porsche is not recalling to fix. Please investigate and make Porsche correct this serious issue. Thank You”
