Porsche Cars Australia is recalling the hottest member of the Porsche Taycan lineup, the Turbo GT, due to an issue that could affect some of its airbags from deploying.
“Due to a manufacturing issue, the wiring harness under the front seats may not have been positioned according to specifications,” the company says in its recall notice.
“As a result, it may become damaged over time and affect the deployment of the seat side airbags.
“In the event of an accident, a seat side airbag not deploying as intended could increase the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants.”
