What's wrong?
The leather-covered dashboard in the 2022-2023 Porsche 911 includes the passenger air bag lid, the panel that covers the passenger frontal air bag until it deploys. In a crash, that lid has to open in a controlled way so the air bag can come through the dashboard and inflate toward the passenger.
On affected vehicles, the adhesive between the air bag lid and the leather dashboard cover did not meet Porsche's production requirements. That weak bond is tied to a specific production batch with the leather-covered dashboard option. During a crash with passenger air bag deployment, the dashboard console can break and interfere with how the air bag opens.
There is no warning sign before failure. The issue is hidden behind the dashboard, so an owner is not expected to hear, feel, or see a change during normal driving.
Who's affected?
The same leather-covered dashboard appears under both dashboard structure and frontal air bag components for the 2022 and 2023 911.
