    anyone heard of factory recall on front springs?

    Just turn my 997s into the factory for front spring replaced due to 'factory recall', they claim the upper section of the front spring is too 'small'. Personally, I feel the car is functioning just fine, althought I am not really pushing it very hard.

    I have been advise to do this front spring change during a routine oil chnage at my dealer. Since it is under warranty here in Taiwan, I opted to have it change.

    But I am just wondering if anyone have heard anything similiar else where in the world

    not a recall, but there are some service bulletins regarding the front end
    a friend needed some front end work on his 2005 997s, and was told of the bulletins.
    the difference is they know what to look for when a car presents with the complaint, but they are not notifying all owners to bring the car in for service

    I heard the same rumor. Was at my dealer yesterday afternoon. Sat in his office and he showed me the service bulletins on the internet. Nothing about springs.Nut replacement in the steering wheel airbag was the latest.
