## What is wrong

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.


## What can happen

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.


## The 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.


## Notes

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.safercar.gov.
