NHTSA recall 14V698000 · Nov 4, 2014 · 1,382 vehicles
Problem: 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.
Risk: A failure of the hood latching mechanism may cause the hood to suddenly open during vehicle operation and will severely impede the driver's ability to see out the front windshield, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
Fix: 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.
Recall repairs are free at any authorised dealer. A recall listed here may already have been fixed on a particular car: enter its 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see open recalls.

Aug 2, 2025Unknown or other 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.
Oct 15, 2021Unknown or other 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.
