Porsche has announced a voluntary recall of 158 Panameras (YAA/YAB), manufactured between July 19, 2023, and September 2, 2025, due to incorrectly assigned cabling for the crash sensors in the door trim panel. “An incorrectly assigned sensor can delay the side airbag trigger in a particular crash situation. Such a delayed trigger of the side airbag increases the risk of injury,” stated the Voluntary Recall Information section on the website of the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM). This development comes amid the recent recall of 142 Porsche Panamera (YAA) units in Australia over a similar airbag issue.
- 158 Panameras recalled over delayed side airbag deployment risk
- Recall includes models produced from July 19, 2023, to September 2, 2025
- A Porsche 991 was recalled earlier this year over a seat belt issue
As is usually the case with these recalls, Porsche is expected to directly contact owners of the affected cars to fix the problem. Owners could also log on to recall.porsche.com and enter their vehicle’s VIN to check if it is affected.
Porsche 911 recalled in March 2025
Recall was announced over faulty seat-belt buckle
As per SIAM data, this is Porsche’s second recall in India this year. The previous recall, announced in March for a Porsche 991, was also over a safety issue.
“An aluminium butyl mat was incorrectly positioned and, consequently, the screw connection of the rear left and right seat-belt buckles may not have been carried out according to the specifications. If this is the case, the correct screw connection of the seat-belt buckle would not be ensured. In such a case, it cannot be ruled out that the rear seat-belt buckles would loosen in the event of an accident or emergency braking. This could increase the associated risk of injury,” the apex body representing all major vehicle and vehicular engine manufacturers in India stated.
