What Happened
The windshield on your vehicle is held in place by a special adhesive. In some 2017 models, this adhesive may not have worked properly, allowing the windshield to come loose in a crash.
Risk if Unfixed
If the windshield separates from the vehicle in a crash, it could expose you to sharp glass and other hazards, increasing the risk of serious injury.
Free Fix
Your Porsche dealer will reattach the windshield using a stronger adhesive, and this repair is free of charge. You should schedule the appointment as soon as possible after receiving the recall notice.
