MARCH 2010 -
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. If the sun shield is not
fully locked, the sun shield can open when
travelling at higher speeds increasing the
risk of a crash. 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
is expected to begin during April 2010.
