THE MOTORCALIBER REVIEW
MotorCaliber editorial ◆ Reviewed against NHTSA data ◆ 2026-10-01

The Porsche 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 has not been evaluated by NHTSA for overall crashworthiness, side impact, or rollover resistance. This model has not received frontal crash-test ratings. No recalls have been issued for the Porsche 718 Boxster GTS 4.0. No owner complaints have been registered with NHTSA for this model year.

The 2021 to 2024 Porsche 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 lacks federal crash-test ratings, creating a data void for consumers accustomed to NHTSA's star-based safety assessments. This is a common occurrence for low-volume, high-performance vehicles, but it means no Safety Index score can be assigned for this model. Despite this, the available federal data presents a remarkably clean record. Across the 2021 through 2024 model years, the 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 has zero recalls. This indicates a consistent manufacturing quality. Owner complaints are also exceptionally low, with only two logged across the entire span. One complaint involved a reported crash, but all NHTSA complaints remain unverified allegations. The vehicle’s record shows no reports of fires, injuries, or fatalities within the complaint data. While the 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 shows no safety red flags in the reported data, consumers are without independent, federally verified occupant protection scores.

WHAT REVIEWERS SAYReviewers generally regard the 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 as one of the most rewarding driving experiences available at any price, praising its naturally aspirated flat-six engine, sharp steering, and finely tuned chassis balance. Interior refinement and material quality are considered strong for the segment, though the cabin is snug and cargo space is minimal. Most reviewers see it as a benchmark roadster for driving enthusiasts.

WHAT TO KNOW
  • NHTSA has not crash-tested the 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 in any model year from 2021 to 2024, so there are no federal star ratings to guide your safety comparison against other vehicles.
  • The model carries a perfect recall record across all four covered model years, with zero recalls issued by NHTSA during that period.
  • Owner complaints in federal data are exceptionally rare, totaling just two across the 2021 to 2024 range, with one involving a reported crash but no recorded injuries or fatalities.
  • As a two-seat open-top roadster, the 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 lacks the structural mass and passive safety packaging of larger vehicles, which is a fundamental segment trade-off shoppers should weigh independently of the complaint and recall data.
