AIR BAGS: AIR BAG/RESTRAINT CONTROL MODULE

Manufacturer
Porsche Cars North America, Inc.
What Happened
The air bag control module in your vehicle is a critical safety system that controls the air bags in a crash. In some 2016-2017 911, Boxster, Cayman, and Panamera models, this module may not work properly due to a faulty power supply capacitor.
Risk if Unfixed
If your air bags are deactivated, you'll be at higher risk of serious injury if you're in a crash. And if the air bags deploy unexpectedly, you could lose control of your vehicle or even crash.
Free Fix
Your Porsche dealer will update the software and replace the air bag control module, free of charge. This is a crucial repair to ensure your safety on the road.
