## What is wrong

Porsche Cars North America, Inc. \(Porsche\) is recalling certain model year 2014 Boxster, Boxster S, Cayman, Cayman S and 911 Carrera \(S, Cabriolet, S Cabriolet, 4, 4S, 4 Cabriolet, 4s Cabriolet\) vehicles manufactured September 2, 2013, through September 23, 2013.  In the affected vehicles, the passenger seats may be equipped with defective wiring harnesses resulting in intermittent contact with the harness plug.


## What can happen

The intermittent plug may cause the passenger seat frontal and knee airbags may be deactivated.  In the event of a crash necessitating airbag deployment, this may increase the risk of injury to the front passenger.


## The remedy

Porsche will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front passenger seat free of charge. The recall began on December 11, 2013. Owners may contact Porsche at 1\-770\-290\-3500.  Porsche's recall number is AD04.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
