5 recalls across 8 model years
The Porsche 911 GT3 RS has 5 recalls spanning 2010 through 2023, with the most serious being a 2023 model year issue where the optional full bucket seat-mounted airbags can deploy unnecessarily during a crash, raising the risk of injury to the occupant.
On the 2016 model year, the passenger-side frontal airbag inflator initiator can fail to ignite, meaning the airbag does not deploy in a crash and the front passenger loses that protection. Also on 2016 models, the owner's manual child restraint installation instructions lack enough detail to ensure a proper fit, which can leave a child seat inadequately secured in a crash. The same child restraint manual issue extends to 2019 GT3 RS vehicles as well.
Going back to 2010-2011 production, the center-locking wheel hubs on GT3 RS models can wear prematurely over time, allowing the wheels to loosen while driving. The 2011 model year has a seatbelt routing defect affecting vehicles built during a narrow window in mid-2011, where the belt may not sit correctly across the occupant or could loosen over time, reducing restraint effectiveness in a crash.
