THIS MODEL, IF IT COMES WITH ONE OF THE TWO LIGHT COLORED DASHBOARDS AVAILABLE (MINE IS ONE-BEIGE), HAS SEVERE GLARE PROBLEMS, CAUSED BY THE NUMBER OF VENTS, SPEAKER, AND OTHER OPENINGS ON THE UPPER DASH, ALL OF WHICH REFLECT IN THE WINDOW. PORSCHE NORTH AMERICA HAS VERIFIED THE PROBLEM, DEEMING IT A "CHARACTERISTIC", NOT A DEFECT.

14V698000 · Latches/Locks/Linkages:Hood:Latch
Reported: 2014-11-04 (November 4, 2014)
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.
Consequence: 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.
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.
