Summary: 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.
Consequence: If the sun shield is not fully locked, the sun shield can open when travelling at higher speeds increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: 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.

Has your Porsche been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

Check your VIN with NHTSA

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Porsche dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
