Porsche and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) have issued a recall for 3,176, 2010 Porsche Panamera for faulty seat belt mounts. This recall is a concern for short drivers, since the mounts could fail when the front seat is adjusted in an extreme forward position, where the locking mechanism could detach from the anchoring system. The front seat belts operate properly in normal crash conditions with the seats adjusted to a more average driving position.

Porsche has not sent out owner notifications yet, so if owners of a Porsche Panamera want to check on the status of this recall, they should contact Porsche at 1-800-545-8039.
