Recall 14V698000 — LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:HOOD:LATCH
| 1,382 vehicles affected
Defect: 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.
Consequence: 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.
Remedy: 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.

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. See uploaded pictures. The lines have been on the car since April 2021, and the car is regularly service and gets annual or more frequent brake flushes. Inspection at the shop this morning revealed multiple areas of discoloration underneath the plastic sheath that is over the braided line. One of the other lines on the front left was bulging in the area of the discoloration, suggesting that one was close to failure as well. There are no signs of abrasion on the lines themselves, it appears the stainless braided line that encases the teflon inner line is corroding or degrading for some reason. I have contact Essex, the distributor of this kit. The car is at Cantrell Motorsports in Bellevue, Washington and has not been disassembled yet, I would authorize the NHTSA to inspect and take custody of the brake lines if you wish.
