2015 Porsche 911 recalls

Recall 14V-698: Latches/Locks/Linkages

Reported Nov 4, 2014 · 1,382 vehicles affected · Porsche Cars North America, Inc.

Problem: Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (Porsche) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Porsche 911, Boxster, and Cayman vehicles manufactured May 7, 2014, to September 23, 2014. The front hood upper lock components were not manufactured to specification and may fail to securely latch the vehicle's hood during operation.

Risk: A failure of the hood latching mechanism may cause the hood to suddenly open during vehicle operation and will severely impede the driver's ability to see out the front windshield, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

Fix: Porsche will notify owners, and dealers will replace the lock on the front hood, free of charge. The recall began December 12, 2014. Owners may contact Porsche customer service at 1-800-767-7243. Porsche's number for this recall is AE04.

The PCM unit which controls the cars computers keeps shutting on and off saying do not drive. Get service ….. This has happened on many cars and there was a class action suit regarding a recall. It is now closed and I was never notified.

There is an active spoiler that has a brake light built into it. There is a design issue with the wiring for the light in the spoiler. The brake light harness is worn out by the movement of the spoiler causing failure of the brake light. This meams there is no 3rd brake light when the spoiler is automatically activated.

This car has popular aftermarket Spiegler brake lines on it, braided stainless lines, these are the brakes and lines: https://www.essexparts.com/ap-racing-by-essex-road-brake-kit-front-9562380mm-porsche-911 Yesterday, on startup with the brake pedal depressed, the front right line burst.

Spoiler lift spring brackets on both sides are broken allowing the springs to get in the way of the normal performance of the spoiler. This could impede the deployment of the spoiler or the successful retraction of the spoiler, creating a reduction in downforce (grip) or creating a safety hazard of a non-fully retracted spoiler. This was identified by a third-party repair shop during maintenance work. In doing further research online I have determined that this is an extremely common issue on this model generation (991.1) that Porsche will not address.

In may 2019 I purchased a certified pre-owned 2015 porsche carrera gts and had it for 11 months before it caught on fire while driving it. A forensic investigation revealed that the cause of the fire was the electrical board located on the inside of the cabin near the right rear tire. On the day of the incident, after driving the car less than 15 miles from my home to a nearby property I noticed the car was smoking as I pulled into the driveway.
