## What is wrong

Porsche Cars North America, Inc. \(Porsche\) is recalling certain 2015\-2016 Macan S and Macan Turbo and 2017 Macan GTS vehicles.  The passenger occupant detection sensor mat may fail in the front passenger seat, deactivating the front passenger air bag.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard \(FMVSS\) number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."


## What can happen

In the event of a crash, if the front passenger air bag does not deploy as intended, the front passenger has an increased risk of injury.


## The remedy

Porsche will notify owners, and dealers will replace the sensor mat and seat cushion, free of charge.  The recall began June 28, 2017.  Owners may contact Porsche customer service at 1\-800\-767\-7243.  Porsche's number for this recall is AH02.


## 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.
