Porsche Macan: Airbag
Affects Porsche Macan · 2015–2018 — about 6K vehicles.
The hazard
Issue: On certain vehicles, the front passenger seat occupant sensor mat could stop working over time. This could cause the airbag system to turn off the passenger-front airbag even when a passenger is seated. Note: The airbag warning light or passenger airbag OFF light will turn on if the sensor mat stops working. Safety Risk: An airbag that is turned off could increase the risk of injury to a passenger in a crash. Corrective Actions: Porsche will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the front passenger seat cushion and occupant sensor mat.
