My Porsche Service Center advised that the front passenger airbag sensor of my 2016 Porsche Macan Turbo is not functioning properly. The identified fault was: Airbag (variant 002) B12251B "Seat occupancy sensor on passenger side (BOSE) - resistance too high" I have been advised that NHTSA has issued two recalls on this problem. My Porsche Service Center has advised that the originally installed passenger side occupancy sensor was replaced pursuant to one of the recalls. Despite the same problem affecting the presently installed passenger side occupancy sensor, my Porsche Service Center has advised that it is not subject to a recall. It has proposed repairing the sensor at a cost to me of $3,124.23. I believe that the repair should be conducted under the terms of the prior recalls, since the presently installed passenger side occupancy sensor is clearly defective.

A safety recall NHTSA id 21V-131 was issued for our vehicle in October 2021 involving airbag sensors for the front passenger. Several attempts to have the dealer address this recall have been unsuccessful as they do not have the parts to remedy the issue. The last communication with the dealership indicates Porsche has put a hold on the remedy. We are obviously concerned about the safety of those riding in the front passenger seat.

A recall was issued for my vehicle in April of 2021. I have contacted my dealer several times to have this repaired, but have been told that the parts are not available. Last time I inquired, i was told to contact Porsche of North America directly regarding the availability of parts. I attempted to do so, but was told that I need to contact the dealer. As the recall relates to possible non-deployment of the passenger airbag, i feel that this issue needs to be addressed more expediently.

I was informed at my last service that I need to have my passenger airbag seat sensor replaced and also my timing chain cover is leaking oil. I noticed on NHTSA website that both of these issues are documented. There was a safety recall for similar 2016 Macan's but my VIN isn't listed. Part 573 safety recall report 17V-133. There is also a manufacturer communication (#D2000.1)relating to the oil leak. NHTSA id # 10182254. These are very expensive repairs and unclear why they shouldn't be covered by Porsche when they are documented problems.

Car has just passed 60,000 miles and the airbag light went on. I took it for an inspection at the Porsche local dealership. They told me I need to replace the seat cushion, along with the module that comes with it. This is a serious safety concern that I want to report. I do not normally sit in the passenger, nor have passengers. Unfortunately that is the seat light showing airbag isn't working the right way. I did my research and found in 2017 which is right after my model had came out there was a recall but just not for my VIN. I would like Porsche to take a serious look at this matter because that is completely a factory and safety issue therefore I reckon a recall upon it. The dealer filed a case for me that day but I was later refused. The rep responded this issue won't only affect anyone who isn't an adult... which means if you're a minor or a teen sitting in that seat it would cost serious safety concern in any accident?
