What is 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.

The risk

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. Owners may contact porsche at 1-[removed].

Notes from the manufacturer

Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-[removed] (tty 1-[removed]), or go to <a href=[link removed] .
