The 2021 Porsche Boxster has two recalls, both rated at the same severity level: engine connecting rods that can crack and cause a stall, oil leak, or engine damage, and suspension fasteners that can loosen and detach.
On the engine side, this recall only affects the GTS 4.0 trim: cracked connecting rods can cause the engine to stall or leak oil while driving, raising the risk of a fire or crash. On the chassis side, loose suspension components can detach from the vehicle, causing a sudden loss of stability and control.
