This page combines three types of NHTSA data: recall campaigns (official manufacturer or government actions), owner complaints (unverified consumer reports), and crash test ratings (where available). A vehicle with many complaints is not necessarily less reliable — complaint volume correlates with sales volume and vehicle age. Recalls indicate identified defects, not overall quality. To compare this model year with others, use the year navigation in the sidebar or return to the model overview page.
Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (Porsche) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Porsche 911, Boxster, and Cayman vehicles manufactured May 7, 2014, to September 23, 2014. The front hood upper lock components were not manufactured to specification and may fail to securely latch the vehicle's hood during operation.
Remedy Status
Porsche will notify owners, and dealers will replace the lock on the front hood, free of charge. The recall began December 12, 2014. Owners may contact Porsche customer service at 1-800-767-7243. Porsche's number for this recall is AE04.
The leather dash on my vehicle is peeling back due to shrinkage. It is shrinking and peeling back from the front of the windshield. I am concerned it will effect the ability for the passenger side airbag to function properly.
Both driver and passenger side door panels are failing causing them to raise due to failed seal and/or glue used in production. This has been inspected by the Porsche dealer and has been deemed a failure from the factory. This issue has caused for not only visibility issues and accessibility to door locks and windows, but could potentially impact the functionality and safety of the overall side airbag operation. This is a known issue based on the responses I have received from the dealership and Porsche factory representatives on the model 911 Carerra and other Porsche models.
THIS MODEL, IF IT COMES WITH ONE OF THE TWO LIGHT COLORED DASHBOARDS AVAILABLE (MINE IS ONE-BEIGE), HAS SEVERE GLARE PROBLEMS, CAUSED BY THE NUMBER OF VENTS, SPEAKER, AND OTHER OPENINGS ON THE UPPER DASH, ALL OF WHICH REFLECT IN THE WINDOW. PORSCHE NORTH AMERICA HAS VERIFIED THE PROBLEM, DEEMING IT A "CHARACTERISTIC", NOT A DEFECT. THE DEALER, THE AUTOGALLERY HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM, ONE OF IT'S SALESMEN DEEMING IT SO MUCH GLARE AS TO BE "UNDRIVABLE". BEVERLY HILLS PORSCHE HAS VERIFIED THE PROBLEM AND TOLD ME OF NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. A PERUSAL OF THE INTERNET REVEALS MANY OTHER OWNER COMPLAINTS. AT VARIOUS TIMES, PORSCHE AND THE DEALER HAVE OFFERED TO HAVE SOMETHING MADE FOR THE DASH, BUT THEY HAVE RENEGED ON THAT OFFER (THEY INDUCED ONE CUSTOMER WHO WAS COMPLAINING TO TRADE THE CAR FOR A MORE EXPENSIVE MODEL WITH DARK DASH). THEY HAVE MADE OTHER OFFERS E.G SUNGLASSES, BUT THEY HAVE FAILED TO TAKE ANY STEPS TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. A CASUAL REVIEW OF DASHES IN OTHER CARS, BY WALKING THROUGH PARKING LOTS, REVEALS THAT NO OTHER CAR HAS NEARLY AS MANY VENTS AND OPENINGS ON UPPER DASH, OR GLARE EVEN APPROACHING THAT OF THIS MODEL. IN SHORT, THE CAR IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE-PARTICULARLY IN SUNLIGHT AND SHOULD BE RECALLED OR THE GLARE PROBLEM REMEDIED. I ASK THAT YOU VIEW MY CAR, OR SIMILAR MODEL, DRIVE THE CAR IN SUNLIGHT AND EVALUATE THIS HAZARDOUS CONDITION. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO MAKE THE CAR AVAILABLE TO NHTSA AT ANY REASONABLE TIME. *TR
