Porsche front hood upper lock components were not manufactured to specification and may fail to securely latch the vehicle's hood during operation.
The short version
Porsche Cars North America, Inc. reported a problem with the hood latch. Here is what owners need to know.
The front hood upper lock components were not manufactured to specification and may fail to securely latch the vehicle's hood during operation.
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.
Porsche will notify owners, and dealers will replace the lock on the front hood, free of charge.
