Porsche recall: Electrical system
What is wrong
Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (Porsche) is recalling certain 2023-2024 Porsche 718 Cayman GTS 4.0, 2024 Porsche 718 Boxster S, and 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 vehicles. The rear electronic control unit (ECU) may allow the spoiler to raise up too high.
What could happen
The raised spoiler can reduce the visibility of the center brake light and impact the vehicle driving and aerodynamics, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will update the ECU software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 23, 2024. Owners may contact Porsche customer service at 1-800-767-7243. Porsche's number for this recall is APB4.
