| 1998 | AIR BAGS | THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND THE DEALER STATED THE LEFT AND RIGHT SEATBELT NEED TO BE REPLACED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT GAURANTEE THAT THE SEATBELTS AND AIRBAGS WOULD DEPLOY CORRECTLY IF THE VEHICLE WAS IN AN ACCIDENT. PORSCHE HAS ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS PROBLEM. THE QUESTION IS HOW MANY VEHICLES HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND SHOULD THIS BE A RECALL IF IT IS WIDESPREAD.*AK |
