What Happened
The ski bag in your vehicle is a safety feature that holds your skis or snowboards in place. In some 2017-2018 Porsche models, the stitching on the bag's straps might not be strong enough, which could cause the bag to come loose during a crash.
Risk if Unfixed
If the ski bag rips loose in a crash, it could be thrown around inside your vehicle and cause injury.
Free Fix
Your Porsche dealer will replace the ski bag with a new one that's securely attached, and this service is free of charge. You'll get a notice with instructions on how to schedule the repair.
