    Another 785 worried people in the world, as of now  cheeky

    If it is really the tube, it is no big issue, provided that the car is intact.

    Yep, get them off the road before they spontaneously combust... I doubt they've fully sorted a solution just yet... Maybe Hyundai can loan them some engineering resources  Smiley 21

     I wonder if Porsche plans to offer loaners (of a different model) while the cars are impounded at the dealer.

    A few of the guys here are apparently getting hire cars. Could be though that they will not be driving Porsche's and put on to the run of the mill hire company's.

    Is this closed to what happened to the early 458?

    My friend has been given a Turbo as a swap.  I would be pretty upset if they gave me a rental car instead!

    My Carrera S was burned down 2012/5 and only had 4000km on it, Porsche claimed its not their fault since the fire dept. here stated the car was burned down completely, can not find the reason, so they did not compensate me anything at all

    There was one incident recently in Germany when a cigarette found it's way in the engine bay and apparently was sucked in, causing a fire. At least this is what the experts concluded after the investigation. I heard that this wasn't the only case with the same cause, so maybe... Smiley

    What if this was all marketing for corvette 2014 they can set couple gt3 on fire and announce it on  news and most Porsche customers will go for corvette because this will be their second choice after PORSCHE.

    In Germany, the second choice would surely not be the Corvette...maybe not even the 10th choice. Smiley Smiley

    Lol. If I could buy the Corvette here, it may actually be my first choice especially at the price you guys buy them at!  What is that high end model called again? I really like it!

    Looks great in white. And a relative bargain. But something to own as well not instead of?

    Depends on how deep your pockets are..........money no object = McLaren P-1

    Seriously though, probably more than a few competitors have acquired cars  (regular C7's) & now trying to figure out how GM can sell this car for so little $. 


    Re: ATTENTION 991 GT3 Owners: DO NOT use your car anymore!!! (Recall)

    Guys, a friendly request: Could we please stick to the topic at hand? Thank you.

    If you have new information regarding the GT3 recall or anything new on this matter (dealer, etc.), please post here.

    Re: ATTENTION 991 GT3 Owners: DO NOT use your car anymore!!! (Recall)

    I always wonder how something like this can happen, given the amount of development and testing these cars undergo prior to market launch. It must be a supplier / assembly issue, not a design issue per se. Unlike mass produced models, they probably cannot spend the resources needed to thoroughly test final production examples. (By "mass produced models", I mean high volume models; of course, all of these cars are mass produced.)

    laughMy local Porsche dealership picked up my car today with a flatbed truck and brought me a loaner car: a brand new Range Rover Evoque with 150 miles on it... Very good service so far... Let's see how long this will take... I was very sad to see my beautiful car go...

    igirl. Is it failed thermostat message? This was an earlier campaign...


    Re: ATTENTION 991 GT3 Owners: DO NOT use your car anymore!!! (Recall)

    You guys should store the car at home till the OPC is told about the fix and is ready to carry it out. That would be my choice.

    uhh...it's the other way around. ...other brands are  envious that Porsche. and Ferrari  can sell their cars ...ESPECIALLY   generic industry wide  options .....for so much more pure profit   ( example : $8,000 for different colored painted calipers on Carrera GT instead of std yellow vs $500 for optional red or yellow calipers on Corvette C7 instead of std  black ) 

    extra cost to  either company ... hundred bucks, if that.

    As this thread has continued to mention Corvette, I have been so tempted to add to it. However, I know that I can find that Corvette thread and add a more appropriately placed comment. Unfortunately, I don't know Jack about the GT3 recall; but in that regard this is interesting. Smiley (Not necessarily in a good way interesting, but interesting at any rate.)

    You are aware that if something happens to your car (for example a fire... Smiley), your insurance will refuse payment since you ignored the official warning from Porsche? Just saying...STOP DRIVING YOUR CARSmiley
