ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- The defect
- 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 it can cause
- 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.
- What the dealer does
- 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.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
| Vehicle | Model years | Safety record |
|---|---|---|
| Porsche718 Boxster GTS | 2024 | Not published here |
| Porsche718 Boxster S | 2024 | Not published here |

How this campaign compares
At 53 vehicles this is a small campaign: 77% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2023 to 2024, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2023, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Porsche vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 13 times before this, most recently in September 2023 as 23V615000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Porsche Cars North America, Inc. with NHTSA on December 4, 2023 as campaign 23V813000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
