Service bulletins for the 2009 Porsche Boxster

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

Information: The Approval and Support Management system was created to offer assistance to the dealer organization with new and complex technical issues by utilizing the Support Specialists within Porsche R&D. As a result, this process has reduced vehicle downtime and repeat repairs substantially.
122-T7Y5Q-122017-12-14. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. Information: This document updates information previously published in EQ 1105, EQ 1105, and EQ 1401. To provide stable voltage and sufficient current throughout certain service operations, you should connect the vehicle to a battery charger (sometimes referred to as a power supply). However, you may experience ECU programming and coding issues if the chosen battery charger has insufficient power. Many workshop manuals currently advise use of a battery charger with a 40 or 70 A current rating. However, with the increasing current requirements of modern Porsche vehicles, we recommend a battery charger capable of producing a minimum current of 90 A.
122-X5P4C-112017-10-15. Service bulletin. EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY. Spare parts requirements for components on the power distributor (housing/pin/cable) or in the event of complaints relating to the overall power supply on the vehicle and if a "corroded pin in the power distributor" is determined as the cause of the problem, the pin (? Replacing pin) must be replaced.

Cracks in the ignition coil housing (Figure 1) can cause corrosion, which can result in a rough-running engine and misfiring.
122-K4S5C-062017-08-01. Service bulletin. ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING. Concerns: Engine oil level sensor Information: Unnecessary replacement of the engine oil level sensor We have discovered that engine oil level sensors are increasingly being replaced, but in subsequent tests carried out by the manufacturer, these oil level sensors are found to be functioning correctly. For this reason, we want to inform you that after filling the engine with engine oil, the oil level must be measured using the on-board computer (confirmation check). If the confirmation check is not carried out, the "Check oil level" warning message will still be displayed. In addition, the "Check oil level" warning message will come on if the oil level has not been checked for a long time. In this case, check the oil level to determine the current oil level and correct it if necessary. The oil level should be checked regularly, e.g. whenever you refuel, as described in the Owner's Manual.
