The 2017 Porsche 718 Boxster has 7 recalls, the most serious being multiple fuel system issues where a punctured fuel tank or detaching structural components in a crash can allow fuel to leak and create a fire risk.
The windshield is another concern: on certain vehicles, the glass may not have been properly bonded to the body and can separate in a crash, raising the risk of injury to occupants. On the airbag side, the front passenger airbag inflator initiator can fail to ignite in a crash, leaving the passenger without frontal protection, and the seat-mounted side airbags have a similar issue where the inflator may not fire, preventing deployment when it is needed most.
