Decided to finally buy a Cayman S.
Came to a good deal since it is a 2018.

Now received a message from my salesman:
" 718's are on stop sale right now. I can't even sell the vehicles currently, because they are trying to come up with a fix for reinforcing the luggage compartment"

Anyone know anything about this?

Don't worry, it has already been fixed. You can take the document into your dealer and get them moving on it.

Thank you for the info!

Wow! Man, you are a wealth of knowledge. Do you know if ‘18 Boxster 718 also needs the same reinforcement? I did not see the actual models requiring this fix.

Yes. I had this correction performed to my '18 BGTS.

Anyone can go to the Porsche site and check their VIN against any open recall issues.

I plugged in my VIN number into the link and found that my Boxster 718, 2018 has no recall issue. Sounds strange that hardtops are required this repair and convertibles are not🤔

Hmmmm? I took my car for a state inspection and oil change at the dealer and my car was on the recall list. It is a 2018 Boxster GTS. They performed the "corrective measures".

 

[Bdhanak]

I agree. And it concerns me because Atlanta Perimeter Porsche - my dealer - said, there are no recalls on my car.

I understand, the recall is as of 4/21. So I will keep checking and call other dealers as well.

thanks for your reply.

Am I correct in saying you purchased the car preowned? If so, this correction may have already been performed on your car. You can check yourself by pulling the lining away from the side in the frunk. If it was done, you'll find three rivets in this area on either side. This may be why the recall no longer shows. Mine does not show now at this point because the correction has been performed.

 

[Bdhanak]

Excellent point. Never thought about it.
