Most manufacturers have a factory trained technician at the ports to fix issues that pop up during shipping of the cars. I am sure Porsche is the same.

Lovely... bummer, but it’s surely a first world problem.

not sure what the earliest build completion date that has actually been customer delivered but for NA 3RS alone there have been 325 built from 11/5 to 12/7.

not a single GT3RS has been completed since 12/7 which is very unusual. My 3RS has been scheduled for completion tomorrow since June. When I called yesterday they said my new expected completion is 12/14-12/21 and expected dealer delivery was also delayed by one week. Did not mention anything about a serious delay.
I’ll call PCNA again tomorrow and my dealer as well.

If there is a parts related fix, they need to develop the new part. They need to test it to make sure it works as improvement designed, they then need to ship 20-30% more than that, and formally put info to service techs and port workers. No quick fix but they do it as fast as possible.

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:
  • All affected vehicles are blocked at our Ports of entry for an additional quality measure per PAG until further notice (most of the affected vehicles are still ON VESSEL at this time)
  • All affected vehicles will have comments in PVMS: Estimated Release from Quality Hold – Pending
  • An estimated release from quality hold date will be provided as soon as possible and PVMS will be updated accordingly
  • An official communication detailing a time-line and additional details is estimated to be provided once received

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.
is this some sort of German hitler code? it PAG PCNA wants to tell us something just say it as is. that communicate provided zero information....

Have to say my experience with Porsche in general has been horrible. Worst customer experience ever, especially considering I’m a current 991 owner buying a $250k car. With that said Linda at the 800 number (who I have only spoken to once) was amazing. One person can make the entire buying process different.

Latest intel from a credible source that I’ve gotten is that it has been reduced from the original approx 400 to 150 that will be held.
