Recall 10V141 affects 3,176 2010 Porsche Panamera sedans for front seat belt mounts that can detach. Repair is free at any franchised Porsche dealer.
Porsche is recalling 3,176 2010 Panamera sedans under recall 10V141 because the front seat belt mount can detach from its anchor when the front seats are set near an extreme position. In a crash, the belt can fail to protect the occupant adequately, and the Porsche dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?
The front seat belt anchorage on the 2010 Porsche Panamera is the mounting point that keeps the front seat belt attached to the seat structure. Its locking mechanism is supposed to hold the belt mount in place while the seat moves and while the belt is fastened or opened. That mount matters because the belt has to stay connected before it can restrain the occupant.
On affected Panamera sedans, moving the front seats into an extreme position changes how the mating parts line up. With the parts sitting at an unfavorable tolerance, the locking mechanism no longer holds the seat belt mount as designed. The mount can detach from the anchoring system when the belt is buckled or released.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner is not expected to feel a change in the belt before the mount separates, so the defect depends on inspection and the recall repair path.

What's the safety risk?
In a crash, the front seat belt anchoring system can leave the seat occupant with inadequate protection and increase the risk of injury or death. Schedule the recall repair soon and avoid delaying service. Repair will be free at any franchised Porsche dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2010 Porsche Panamera is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Porsche dealer to schedule the free front seat belt anchor locking-element installation.
- Bring the recall notice, if you have it, and reference recall number 10V141 when you call.
- Avoid extreme front-seat positions until the repair is complete.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Porsche technician installs an additional locking element on the seat belt anchoring system for both front seats. The added locking element is meant to keep the seat belt mount secured to the anchoring system when the belt is fastened or opened. Porsche listed this campaign service as free, and the dealer repair will be free once available.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 10V141?
Recall 10V141 covers 3,176 2010 Porsche Panamera sedans with a front seat belt anchoring defect. When the front seats are adjusted toward an extreme position, the seat belt mount locking function is not guaranteed. Porsche dealers install an added locking element for free.
What should I do if my 2010 Porsche Panamera is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific Panamera is included in recall 10V141. If it is, contact a franchised Porsche dealer to schedule the front seat belt anchoring repair. Reference recall number 10V141 when you call. The repair is free.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to repair the defect at no cost, and Porsche's remedy says dealers install an added locking element on the front seat belt anchoring system free of charge.
What is the safety risk?
The safety risk is reduced crash protection for a front seat occupant. If the seat belt mount detaches from the anchoring system, the belt cannot provide adequate restraint in a crash, increasing the risk of injury or death.
What if I bought my Porsche Panamera used?
The free recall repair still applies. Recall coverage follows the vehicle, not the first owner. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific 2010 Panamera is included, then contact a franchised Porsche dealer and reference recall number 10V141.
