Report Date: February 18, 2000 11:32:09 PM

Every few years, we revisit a topic of great importance to all 914 owners - a review of the Federal Government Recalls impacting the Porsche 914. Most of these recalls were issued during the 914 production years of 1970-76. Owners, at that time, should have received a recall notice and instructions on how to have repairs made. Some owners did, and some didn't.

With that in mind, it's worth a little of your time to check the items, yourself, at this late date. Even if repairs/replacements have been made, these are areas that should be monitored from time to time. Your local Porsche dealer may be able to determine if your car was corrected through the recall program - but, don't bet on it. You might even find a dealership that will make repairs on unchecked cars. However, the inspect and repair aspect generally rests on the shoulders of the current owner. So, read through the recalls for your model year and take a few minutes to check your 914. If you'd like information on other vehicles you own, call the Auto Safety Hotline toll free at (888) 327-4236 to report safety defects or to obtain information on cars, trucks, child seats, highway or traffic safety.
