2011 Porsche Boxster S recall: windows, wipers & mirrors
⚠️ What's wrong
Porsche has notified NHTSA of a defect in certain model year 2011 Boxster spyder 2 door convertible passenger vehicles. It is possible that the locking hook on the sun shield (temporary soft top) may not engage correctly into the lock catch which is positioned on the windscreen frame of the vehicle.
💥 The risk
If the sun shield is not fully locked, the sun shield CAN open when travelling at higher speeds increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will have both the locking hook and lock catch replaced with redesigned components. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on april 30, 2010. Owners may contact porsche at 1-800-545-8039.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
