2002 PORSCHE 911 CARRERA Complaints and Recall Information
The 2002 PORSCHE 911 CARRERA has 0 complaints and 5 recalls filed with NHTSA. Owners most frequently report issues related to safety labels, seatbelt functionality, and suspension components as indicated by the recalls.
There are five recalls addressing defects that affect mirror labels, seatbelt retractors, and suspension struts. These recalls involve safety-related systems that could impact driver awareness, child passenger protection, and vehicle control.
Recalls- Rearview mirror labels. Recall 13V063000 affects 4 vehicles including one 2002 Porsche Carrera. Labels with incorrect font size were applied to the passenger side mirror, which may cause drivers to misjudge object proximity, increasing crash risk. US Specs will notify owners and correct the labels free of charge starting April 22, 2013.
- Passenger seatbelt retractor. Recall 13V064000 covers one 2002 Porsche Carrera. The passenger seatbelt lacks the Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) function needed to secure child restraints properly. This raises the risk of injury to child passengers in crashes. US Specs will replace the seatbelts free of charge with notification beginning April 22, 2013.
- Front suspension struts. Recall 20E091000 affects 584 vehicles equipped with Ohlins front struts, including some 2002 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 and 4S models. Excessive stress can cause pin breakage, leading to strut separation and loss of vehicle control. Ohlins will replace struts and top mounts free of charge starting December 22, 2020. Owners receiving kits will be contacted. Dealers will refund unsold kits.
Owners with repeated repairs related to these recalls or unresolved safety defects may have rights under their state lemon law. Considering consultation with a qualified attorney could help clarify any potential remedies.

SUSPENSION:FRONT:MACPHERSON STRUT
Ohlins USA, Inc (Ohlins) is recalling certain Front Struts, part number POS 5N20. These struts were sold as part of Ohlins strut kits part number POZ MN02, intended for installation on 1999-2005 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 and 4S (generation 996), and 2001-2006 Porsche 911 Turbo / Turbo S (generation 996) and kit part number POZ MN05, intended for installation on 2005-2012 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 and 4S (generation 997), and 2006-2013 Porsche 911 Turbo / Turbo S (generation 997). The pin of the strut may experience excessive stress during maximum steering, possibly resulting breakage of the pin.
