General Information
This is to notify you of a voluntary Recall Campaign which involves 2451 Porsche Carrera 4 and Carrera 2 vehicles of model years 1989 and 1990
within the following VIN'S:
1989 Carrera 4
-
WP0AB096_KS450061 to WP0AB096_KS451117
1990 Carrera 2/4 -
WPOAB296_LS450061 to WP0AB296_LS451182
WP0BB296_LS460061 to WP0BB296_LS46W86
WP0CB296_LS470061 to WP0CB296_LS470553
It was determined that pieces of luggage in the luggage compartment and/or a plastic trim piece surrounding the safety latch may prevent the safety latch
on the front hood from properly locking. If the safety latch is not properly locked and if the front hood is left unlocked or is mistakenly opened while
driving, the front hood could open, obstructing the driver's front view, which may result in an accident.
