Porsche Boxster Recall 2011

The Boxster Spyder, a stunning car by Porsche, has a defect which is creating a big buzz around. Porsche has notified the government of deficiency in some of the models of Boxster Spyder convertibles. Porsche confirmed all the information to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Problem is with a defective locking hook on the sun shield, which may not connected properly into the lock catch on the windscreen frame of the car. When the car will be in its top speed then there are some chances that the sun shield might get opened as it is not locked in place and create a major safety hazard.

The Porsche Boxter Spyder is a special-edition car with a separable soft-top. The limited run is likely the reason for such a small number of recalled vehicles.

Dealers will replace the locking hook and lock catch with new, redesigned components for the nine vehicles in question and will do so for free. All the owners of Boxter Spyder can contact NHTSA’s vehicle safety online and also on their contact numbers.
