POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY

Manufacturer

What Happened
The rear-axle carrier is a critical part that connects your Boxster or Cayman's rear wheels to the rest of the vehicle. In some 2013-2015 models, it might crack or break because of a weak spot.
Risk if Unfixed
If the axle carrier breaks on the road, you could lose control of your vehicle, especially when cornering or braking. This could lead to a serious crash.
Free Fix
Your Porsche dealer will swap out the faulty axle carrier with a stronger one, at no cost to you. They'll take care of this repair as soon as you get the recall notice, and there's no charge for the work.

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:HOOD:LATCH

Manufacturer
Porsche Cars North America, Inc.
What Happened
The latch that keeps your hood closed on your 911, Boxster, or Cayman is a critical safety feature that ensures your hood stays shut while driving. Unfortunately, the ones in certain 2014-2015 models may not be reliable.
Risk if Unfixed
If the latch fails, your hood could open unexpectedly while driving, blocking your view and making it harder to steer. This could lead to a serious crash.
Free Fix
Your authorized Porsche dealer will replace the faulty latch with a new one, and the repair is completely free. You should schedule an appointment as soon as you receive the recall notice.
