The seat-mounted airbags in Porsche 911s equipped with full bucket seats could pop in accidents where they aren't needed, potentially leading to spleen injuries
Porsche 911 owners with full bucket seats may want to drive extra carefully for the next month, as an issue with the seat-mounted airbag could cause it to deploy in accidents where it is not needed, potentially leading to injuries. The issue impacts a variety of 992 generation 911 models, from the 2021 to 2024 model years. The specific model appears to be of less significance compared to whether the owner opted for the full bucket seat option.

Fortunately, the fault is with the airbag deployment software, not the parts themselves.
