Would be very hard for a cigarette butt to enter through that I would think? Thanks for sharing!

Is your 2019 Cayman a GTS 4.0? Otherwise your stock grills are likely different than ours.

MY 2021 was the first year for GTS 4.0

That’s what I thought too that GTS 4.0’s only started in MY 2021. Thanks for confirming. As far as I know no recalls on 4.0 grills yet…Correct?

My 2021 was recently in for service and it wasn’t mentioned.

If it is a recall, vice TSB, you would be notified.

The grills on my Spyder are very restrictive so perhaps earlier issue taken care of.

Here you go! Sorry I don’t have before pictures, but I have access to a 2019 GTS that hasn’t been touched yet. I’ll try getting some shots of that one soon. Mine’s a 2019 Cayman (base).

Thanks for the pics…similar to the ‘21 and beyond cars. I believe the genesis of this thread was an errant notice to an owner of a ‘21. It shouldn’t pertain to anything ‘21 and newer.

I thought my 2019 GTS already had this 'modification' but I got this email today. This is the grill the car has. Looks similar to others posted here?? I counted slats, mine has 11, the others have 13, so the slats are closer on the newer version....

Removed reference to 2021 cars as apparently was sent in error

Default GTS 4.0

Anyone know if this affects the newer GTS 4.0 version?
