What NHTSA recorded

Certain two-seat, two-door coupe model passenger vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 225, "child restraint anchorage systems." these vehicles were not equipped with a top tether anchorage as required by the standard. Owners who wish to use a child restraint with the air bag deactivation device requiring a top tether in the front passenger seat cannot correctly install the seat due to the lack of the top tether anchorage.

Possible consequence

In the event of a crash, the child may not be properly protected.

Remedy

Dealers will install the tether anchorage. Owner notification began on july 28, 2003. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact porsche at 1-800-767-7243.
