Looks like my RS is effected on by this (a total of 364 GT3 & GT3RS cars in total) and the delivery date is pushed out to 4/5/19 instead of late Dec/early Jan. See the information that my SA sent me today.....
PAG has issued a Port Action campaign that affects 364 2018/2019 911 GT3/GT3 RS. Unfortunately, we cannot provide any additional information at this time. This topic is currently being analyzed by PAG with the highest priority.
The only information we have at this time is as follows:
The following has been posted to PPN. A number of affected have already been updated in PVMS; as not all GT’s are affected, please check yours for status. We are working on a communication for customers affected by this action.

I'm not in any rush to get the car and the last thing I want is for the car to go up in flames because there was an oil leak. I want the problem to be addressed and corrected before I get the car. I just found it interesting how they came up with the exact number of GT cars effected.

My guess is that the work will be done at the dealership but PAG/PCNA doesn't want to send the cars over to the dealership until there is a plan of action in place.

When my AMG GTR was stuck at port last year with an active aero issue, when the stop sale came down the issue was fixed at port for the cars that were there and at the dealership for the cars that were there. They would not release a car that wasn't fixed to the dealership from the port.
Not sure if Porsche does it the same way.

It was actually a funny story, in a staggering coincidence a friend of mine in Jacksonville had just moved and his new neighbour was one of those engineers that was sent to Brunswick to deal with the issue, and he moved my car to the front of thew line with the replacement part.

What if this is all an elaborate diversion so everyone runs to the dealers to go buy the ones on the showroom floors before 12/31? As most these cars would have barely missed the new years anyways...
VERY suspect the ones at the dealers seem totally fine lol We are after all dealing with the marketing hype geniuses over at Porsche Corporate
I am such a sucker

I checked in with my dealer - no delay, but my car just finished last week so still looking at a late Jan/early Feb delivery. Will update if I hear anything else.
However, my SA did say he had another car that had just arrived at port and it was delayed. Very possibly the delay in my car just has not kicked in.
