ANALYSISHow safe is the 2023 Porsche 911 Carrera 4?
The 2023 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 did not undergo NHTSA crash testing, and no star ratings are available. Its federal safety profile is limited to a single recall and two owner complaints. The recall, issued for seat belt retractors, addresses a safety-critical component. Retractor failure can compromise occupant restraint during a collision. The two owner complaints, while unverified, reference the electrical system, engine, and fuel and propulsion system, though neither report involved a crash, injury, or fatality. This minimal activity places the 2023 911 Carrera 4 in the Light burden band, indicating a low volume of federal safety actions for the model year. No crash-test data from other model years of the 911 Carrera 4 is available to provide additional context.
