From what was released:
"As many as 200 of the 1,200 Carrera GTs produced had been totaled in the first two years it was sold (2004-2006); The available Porsche Stability Management was not installed in the Carrera GTs (which IIHS says prevents 1/3 of fatal crashes and reduces rollover risk by 80%)."
Another claim in the suits (besides the missing safety system) was a defective seat belt which trapped Walker (who was alive for 1 minute 20 seconds, unable to release the belt, and subsequently was engulfed in flames).
Porsche settled with Paul Walker's estate for a undisclosed amount in 2017.

The driver was a professional race car driver... They don't use stability control.
