NHTSA recall 10V125000
Visibility · Porsche Cars North America, Inc.
Details
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.
Why it matters: 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.
