If another one appears then a good class action lawsuit in in order. One where the owners and lawyers will be compensated well and lifetime repair to the original owner.

why no class action before in the 9 model years? and, why just the original owner? doesn't the original owner suffer the sting from poor resale owing to a rep for a defectively designed RMS problem? if so, shouldn't the warranty just be moved to 100k regardless of owner like it is on BMW's grenading M3 motor?

I thought the Rear Main Seal issue had been finally fixed. I was planning on ordering my new 997S later today (after 6 months of research and critical decisions on options, like what color...) . Now I am not so sure. The cost of the car I was ordering is $135,000CDN + tax = $155,000CDN($125KUS). For that amount of money, I expect the car to be free of major defects. This RMS issue creates FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt) about the long-term maintainability of this car.
Any new product has issues. However if I understand this RMS issue correctly, if the engine has this defect, it is very hard to permanently fix it. Maybe the Internet magnifies this problem beyond what it really is. Is the problem real or isolated?
I think Porsche should step up to the plate on this issue, if it is real, and either fix the problem for good or offer an extended warranty. I dislike lawyers and frivolous lawsuits. However a class action suit with merit does have a way of focusing a company to fix a problem. The fact that there has been no class action lawsuit to date suggests that maybe the problem is indeed isolated.. The problem is finding the facts.
Should I order today as planned or wait.

I'm still waiting to hear about an OFFICIALLY confirmed RMS issue on the 997 Carrera S engine (M97). So far, nobody was able to put convincing facts on the table, just speculations, gossip, rumours which have travelled from one person to another and so on.
