Porsche has revealed a seatbelt issue that affects the Panamera 4-door coupe which resulted in the recalling of every single Panamera worldwide. This means that the recalling should include the units that are here in Malaysia as well.
Apparently the front seatbelt mounts may fail if the front seats are pushed or adjusted to an extreme forward position. To date approximately 11,324 Panameras have been sold worldwide. Luckily for Porsche no injuries or deaths have been reported.
Porsche AG is currently being owned by Porsche SE which holds 51% while the remainder is being held by Volkswagen.
UPDATE: We have received confirmation that all 11,324 Panameras manufactured up to 25th February 2010 will be recalled along with units sold in Malaysia.
