Known issues on the 2012 Cayman. One recall is on federal record for this model year, and it covers the seat belts. It reaches Cayman models, including S and R, manufactured from May 31, 2011 through June 10, 2011, on which the mounting holes in the seat belt anchor plates may be too small; if the hole diameter is too small, the anchor plate may not be able to rotate about the fastening bolt as designed. Should that occur, the seat belt may not be routed optimally around the occupant, or may loosen at some point in the future, increasing the risk of injury during a crash. One owner complaint is on record for the year.
Whether you are checking a belt anchorage after that recall, working through the flat-six on either displacement, or holding to a service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the right figure for your own 2012 Cayman.
