Just the Facts: [*]Porsche is recalling some 2010 Panamera models because of defective seatbelts.[*]Over 3,000 cars are included in the recall.[*]NHTSA says: "The seatbelt mount could detach from the anchoring system when the seatbelt is fasted or opened."[/LIST]
WASHINGTON "” Porsche is recalling 3,176 of its 2010 Panameras, including the Panamera S, Panamera 4S and Panamera Turbo, because of defective seatbelts, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. "The restraint function of the safety belts can no longer be guaranteed," said Porsche in paperwork filed with the federal government. In its recalls summary of the problem, NHTSA reports that "if the front seats are adjusted towards an extreme position, resulting in unfavorable tolerance of the mating components, it is possible that the function of the locking mechanism of the seatbelt mount can longer be guaranteed. "The seatbelt mount could detach from the anchoring system when the seatbelt is fasted or opened. In the event of a crash, the seatbelt may not provide adequate protection for the seat occupant, which may increase the risk of injury or death." Porsche dealers will install an additional locking element on the seatbelt anchoring system for both front seats. NHTSA said that Porsche has not yet provided an owner notification schedule for the recall. Porsche owners can contact the automaker at 800-545-8039. Inside Line says: If you own the aforementioned Porsche Panamera, have it checked out with your dealer ASAP. "” Anita Lienert, Correspondent
