2023–2024 Porsche 718 Boxster Gts, Porsche 718 Boxster S, Porsche 718 Cayman Gts: Electrical System recall
NHTSA campaign 23V813000 · 53 units potentially affected · filed Dec 4, 2023
What's wrong
Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (Porsche) is recalling certain 2023-2024 Porsche 718 Cayman GTS 4.0, 2024 Porsche 718 Boxster S, and 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 vehicles. The rear electronic control unit (ECU) may allow the spoiler to raise up too high.
Why it matters
The raised spoiler can reduce the visibility of the center brake light and impact the vehicle driving and aerodynamics, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will update the ECU software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 23, 2024. Owners may contact Porsche customer service at 1-800-767-7243. Porsche's number for this recall is APB4.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
