Known issues on the 1997 911. One recall is on federal record for this model year, covering the air bag on-off switch assembly: on vehicles fitted with the child seating system air bag deactivation kit, a manufacturing problem in the kit's contact buckle keeps it from deactivating the air bag, so in a crash the air bag can still deploy and severely injure or kill a child seat occupant in that seating position. Owners have filed 3 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind that system are here.
Whether you're verifying the air bag deactivation kit, working through a Carrera 4's all-wheel-drive service points, or servicing the Turbo's forced-induction system, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1997 911.
