Porsche has recently made an announcement that it is going to recall all of the 11,324 Panameras sold worldwide because of the seatbelt safety issue.

Just days after Porsche announced the filling out the Panamea lineup with an addition of a V6 powered model they had to announce this recall. Porsche said that all 11,324 cars sold would be brought to the mechanic to fix the possible faulty seatbelt.

After a series of tests, the defect was discovered in the four-seater luxury saloon. The main fault being that when the front seats are set to their maximum forward position, the seatbelts’ locking mechanism could detach from the anchoring system which could lead to fatality in the event of a crash.

A spokesperson from Porsche said that this measure would be completely a safety precaution and an additional safety element would be added to the cars recalled and also to the cars in production.

Porsche mechanics plan to strengthen the anchoring seatbelt system by installing additional locks, which will help the seatbelt, mount to retain strength and not detach. He further mentioned that the repair would be free of charge and the process will not take more than 15 minutes
