Porsche Recalls the 2012 911, Cayman and Boxster: All of Them

Porsche North America is recalling certain 2012 (and a few 2011) model year 911s, Caymans and Boxsters for faulty seat belts.  The manufacture date window that the recalled vehicles fall into is from May 31, 2011 through June 10, 2011.  The issue revolves around the mounting holes for the seat belt anchor plates.  On certain models, the holes are simply too small and will not allow the plate to rotate.  These can either cause the seat belt to not be secured properly or loosen to the point of not working.

The special edition 911 Speedster and GT3 RS 4.0 are the only 2011 model years to be affected by the recall.  All 2012 911s are affected (ALL OF THEM) as well as the 2012 Boxster Spyder and S and the 2012 Cayman S and R.  So far, a total of 235 units are planned to be recalled and Porsche North America will remedy the problem free of charge.[via : Autotalk]
