What Happened
The ski bag in your vehicle is designed to secure your skis or snowboards during transport. In some affected 2017-2018 models, the strap that holds the ski bag in place could fail due to a manufacturing flaw, causing it to come loose.
Risk if Unfixed
If the ski bag detaches during a crash, it could be thrown around the vehicle and increase the risk of injury to you or other occupants.
Free Fix
Porsche will replace the ski bag with a secure one, free of charge. You should schedule the repair at a Porsche dealership as soon as you get the recall notice.
