• Desiccated air bag inflator rupture investigation as of 20210917

  From 2000 through 2017, takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("psan") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004l. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants. See 2016 blomquist report at www.Nhtsa.Gov/sites/nhtsa.Gov/files/documents/expert_report-hrblomquist.Pdf.Consequently, all frontal inflators using propellant 2004 that do not contain a "desiccant" (a substance that traps and holds moisture) in us vehicles are under recall. These "non-desiccated" inflators either have been or are required to be replaced.In some cases, the remedy part for these recalled inflators was, or will be, an inflator using either propellant 2004 or 2004l that does contain a desiccant. None of these "desiccated" remedy parts (which were installed in older model year vehicles) are currently under recall for a degradation concern. Certain subsets of desiccated psan inflators using propellant 2004 for use as original equipment, however, have been recalled for a degradation concern. All takata inflators produced with propellant 2004l contain desiccant, and none of these desiccated inflators using propellant 2004l are under recall for a degradation concern. There have been no reported field ruptures in any non-recalled desiccated psan inflators.It is understood that desiccants fully saturate at some threshold, at which point any additional moisture will not be captured. This means the degradation process observed in non-desiccated inflators using propellant 2004 may also occur in non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004, assuming additional moisture enters the inflator and high temperature cycling occurs. Based on available information, desiccant saturation can occur within the first five years in the worst environments, and the time required for full saturation is affected by multiple factors. While no present safety risk has been identified, further work is needed to evaluate the future risk of non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004.Three entities -- takata (now known as tk global), the independent testing coalition, and exponent -- have been studying the long-term behavior of takata desiccated psan inflators using propellant 2004l (as well as 2004) in the presence of moisture and temperature cycling. The research efforts, which include development of predictive modeling techniques and field sample analysis, are ongoing. To date, none of the researchers have identified field evidence showing that propellant 2004l is undergoing a degradation process that leads to aggressive deployment and potential rupture. However, the time in service of such inflators remains short compared to that of the inflators using propellant 2004. Further study is needed to assess the long-term safety of desiccated inflators using propellant 2004l.The office of defects investigation is opening this investigation to examine whether a safety defect related to propellant degradation exists in non-recalled desiccated psan frontal inflators manufactured by takata. This investigation will require extensive information on takata production processes and surveys of inflators in the field. Lists of recall actions that may have used desiccated psan inflators as remedy parts, as well as the makes and models originally manufactured with them, is available with the downloadable version of this document (see nhtsa.Gov

I was informed at my last service that i need to have my passenger airbag seat sensor replaced and also my timing chain cover is leaking oil. I noticed on nhtsa website that both of these issues are documented. There was a safety recall for similar 2016 macan's but my vin isn't listed. Part 573 safety recall report 17v-133. There is also a manufacturer communication (#d2000.1)relating to the oil leak. Nhtsa id # 10182254. These are very expensive repairs and unclear why they shouldn't be covered by porsche when they are documented problems.

The emergency indicator came on while i was operating my car. It says the car is too hot. Pull over to cool down' while driving in a highway. No prior indication before this warning. White smoke was coming out of the hood when i pulled over off the highway. Then, indicator says 'low coolant. Fill coolant.'

Car has just passed 60,000 miles and the airbag light went on. I took it for an inspection at the porsche local dealership. They told me i need to replace the seat cushion, along with the module that comes with it. This is a serious safety concern that i want to report. I do not normally sit in the passenger, nor have passengers. Unfortunately that is the seat light showing airbag isn't working the right way. I did my research and found in 2017 which is right after my model had came out there was a recall but just not for my vin. I would like porsche to take a serious look at this matter because that is completely a factory and safety issue therefore i reckon a recall upon it. The dealer filed a case for me that day but i was later refused. The rep responded this issue won't only affect anyone who isn't an adult... Which means if you're a minor or a teen sitting in that seat it would cost serious safety concern in any accident?

I obeserved cracks in my sunroof under frost conditions. Cracks are present in both the stationary portion of the sunroof as well as the moving component. During extreme cold weather i further observed that the enrire interior of the sunroof was covered in heavy condensation. I reported this to my dealer's service manager who resufes to help. I know that my car was based on the audi q5 platform while had a similar recall in 2012 for defective sunroofs under extreme cold weather. I strongly believe these related.

When an adult sits in the front passenger seat on top of a normal bed pillow needed because of medical problems, the airbag protection system for that seat occupant turns off. I now have to sit in the back seat since i am unprotected as a result of front airbag deactivation due to pillow use in the front passenger seat. I am a 65 years old man, weigh 200 pounds and am 6 feet tall. I have owned at least 7 porsches over my lifetime and this is the first time this is a problem. By the way, it is not a problem in the latest 911. The back seats are obviously less comfortable. We spent extra money to buy the most comfortable front seats available from porsche but now realize that the front passenger seat is useless and unsafe for any adult needing a pillow for sitting. We will not buy a macan again. I brought this to the attention of the dealer mechanics (via actual demonstration) who were, frankly, flabbergasted at this finding of which they and the sales and service people were allegedly unaware. They could offer no workaround. This problem occurs when the car is stationary or moving and irrespective of what kind of road is being driven on or what braking might be happening or not. I believe the airbag system seat sensors in the front passenger seat are not designed safely to allow for the use of a cushion or pillow by an adult and still have airbag protection turned on. This is a potentially unsafe configuration and could harm the uninformed or unaware. Porsche owners do tend to be older and might have medical issues requiring such things as a pillow for sitting more comfortably. I first noticed/understood this problem april, 2018, and had the dealer bring around new 2018 macan to test for the same problem and it also had the same response of turning off the airbag when a pillow was used in the front passenger seat.

I was driving north on interstate 75 in atlanta. There was no overpass above me and, because it was the early afternoon, there were few cars/trucks around. There was no debris flying through the air or rocks being kicked up from the pavement. Inexplicably, my panoramic sunroof exploded over my head. The glass shattered and thousands of shards fell on the windscreen. (luckily, i had the windscreen closed or that glass would have covered me.) i was on my way to kentucky for the weekend but had no choice but to bring the car immediately to porsche atlanta perimeter. The agents and service employees seemed genuinely shocked at the damage and kept telling me how lucky i was... I ended up spending $600 for the rental car while they worked on the car. It took a week and a half. I talked to a consumer service representative and the service manager at porsche perimeter regarding the october '17 consumer report article about exploding sunroofs. The service manager said he would get back to me after he did some research (he didn't) and the customer service representative denied any responsibility on behalf of porsche. I was told that perhaps a preexisting "nick" in my sunroof was what compromised the glass. There was no nick, and even if there was, i think they should let people know that such a nick may result in catastrophic injury. I had to pay $3,100 for the repairs. I am extremely disappointed in porsche. This is obviously a design flaw.
