JAKARTA - Car manufacturer from Germany, Porsche is back in the process of recalling their car units. The affected units amounted to around 6,000 vehicles.

As reported by the Hinudstan Times, Wednesday, March 29, a total of 6,531 Porsche cars were recalled for the United States and Canada.

The models affected by the recall are Porsche Taycan Turbo 2020, Porsche Taycan and Carrera 2020 to 2021 in Canada. For the US, there are at least 130 units of the 2020 Porsche Taycan produced.

The problem that triggers Porsche to make a recall is that there is a problem with the seat belt system that doesn't work as it should, namely when the driver or passenger doesn't use a seat belt, the warning doesn't turn on. Normally, when the driver/passenger is in the car but doesn't use a seat belt, then there is a notification sign to immediately use the seat belt.

The United States Highway Safety Agency (NHTSA) said in its report that the problems that occurred were not related to damage to the seat belt system, but an error occurred in the software.

Moreover, problems like these are very important for areas such as the United States and Canada that have very strict traffic rules.

Porsche has appealed to customers to come to the official workshop to check and change the seat belt system of the affected car. Porsche will recall on May 16.
