Porsche 718 Boxster
Model Overview
The 718 Boxster (nee Boxster) is Porsche's least-expensive convertible. If you want to know why sports car fans idolize Porsche, this is the car to answer that question. A mid-engine layout and rear-wheel drive contribute to impressive handling and road feel, making this a benchmark against which other sports cars are judged. The 718 Boxster's turbo four-cylinder engine promises better fuel economy than its predecessor's six-cylinder, but doesn't sound as good.

Manufacturer Recall Number:
APB4
Units Affected:
18
Notification Type:
Safety Mfr
Issue:
On certain Boxster GTS 4.0 and Cayman GTS 4.0 models, the rear vehicle electronics control unit may not have been programmed correctly during production. As a result, the rear spoiler may be too high and block the high-mounted stop lamp. This problem could also lead to poor handling.
Safety Risk:
A high-mounted stop lamp that is blocked may cause others not to recognize when the vehicle is braking. Additionally, poor handling could cause a loss of control. Both issues could increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions:
Porsche will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to reprogram the rear vehicle electronics control unit.

On certain vehicles and replacement engines, the fastening screws for the fuel collection pipes could shear off due to stress corrosion cracking. If this occurs, fuel could leak into the engine compartment which, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the fastening screws of each of the collection pipes with new and improved screws.
