The air bag control computer in your Porsche contains a small capacitor that helps power the airbags. In some 2016-2017 911, Boxster, Cayman, and Panamera models, this capacitor can fail, affecting the airbags.
The side air bag sensors in your vehicle are like the 'eyes' that detect a crash and deploy the air bags to keep you safe. In some 2018 models, these sensors might have been installed incorrectly.
The passenger air bag in your vehicle is a critical safety feature that inflates in the event of a crash. In some 2016-2017 models, the initiator that makes this air bag inflate might not work properly.
