1. ASA0 - Check rear seat belt buckles and rework if necessary

   R/2025/077 · 26 Feb 2025

   26 Feb 2025

   Defect

   Due to a process error in the production an aluminium butyl may have been positioned incorrectly and the screw connection of the rear left and right belt buckle was potentially not executed according to the specifications. If this is the case the correct fastening of the belt buckle cannot be guaranteed. The loosening of the rear belt buckles in the event of an accident or emergency braking cannot be ruled out. This could increase the associated risk of injury.

   Remedy

   The positioning of the aluminium butyl mat on the left and right of the affected vehicles must be checked and depending on the test result the screw connection must be reworked.

10. REAR HUB MAY DETACH

    R/2012/156 · 10 Dec 2012

    10 Dec 2012

    Defect

    Current market observations have shown that the track usage of many vehicles in the 911 model line now comes close to that of pure GT3 racing vehicles. The component stresses associated with race track use and competitive driving are much higher than for a sporty driving style on public roads. The revision intervals for race track use must be observed particularly for highly stressed chassis components in the same way as is required for GT3 racing vehicles. If these revision intervals are not observed the failure of highly stressed components and breakage of hubs on the rear axle for example cannot be ruled out particularly in the case of components in advanced stages of wear.

    Remedy

    In order to standardise revision intervals the wheel hubs on the rear axle will be replaced by standard wheel hubs on the affected vehicles with central wheel lock

    Defect

    At a recent 24 hour race at the Nurburgring Circuit it was identified that the clamping force/torque on the centre wheel locking components is incorrect. If the vehicle is used under racing type conditions it is possible that the centre locking device could undo which if not identified could lead to a wheel detachment.

    R/2007/056 · 26 Mar 2007

    26 Mar 2007

    Defect

    It has been identified that the possibility exists that a faulty seat belt buckle has been installed as part of the six- point seat belt harness. If a faulty buckle has been installed it may not be possible open the buckle following an accident if the belt straps have been subject to a tensile load thus requiring the seat belt straps to be cut before the occupant could leave the vehicle.

    Remedy

    Subject vehicles will have the seat belt buckle checked for the production date and replaced as necessary.
