Porsche in the US is now recalling over 8,000 copies of the 911 model built in Germany, because both the front and rear windows can fall out in the event of a traffic accident.
According to the US road safety authorities NHTSA, it concerns 8,101 911s that Porsche has built between 2020 and this year.
From the publicly available recall document, it is not clear which specific 911 models are affected.
