Air Bag problem #1

Porsche dashboard leather shrunk and staples pulled out around passenger side airbag. I was told that if the vehicle was in an accident the airbag might not deploy correctly. The Porsche dealer looked at it and recommended replacing it. This is a very common issue.

Side/window Air Bag problem #2

The contact owns a 2015 (na) Porsche Cayenne turbo. While driving approximately 20 mph, the passenger side air bags deployed without warning. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer who was unable to diagnose the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the air bag appeared to have deployed (properly) upon impact. The contact stated that there was no impact. The failure mileage was 17,000.
