All the GT3 burned in Europe were with just few kms on odometer, the member of our Club told me that seems that all 5 Cars had the same week production (i don't know which one).
If someone wants i can give in pm also the email of our member

might be a good idea for current owners to look for oil spots on garage floor for signs. I would do that personally.

There will be no spots. As Pietro says the cars that have exhibited the fault show the issue almost immediately. As soon as that oil is free it will burn on the exchanger. This is a very recent production parts issue. There are many many cars working hard lapping circuits and being driven hard on the weekends all over the world since the first customers received their cars in November, and these have all been without issue. I know two cars now that have covered over 5000 miles and one car that's done over 2500 track miles. Look at the Chris Harris video and you will see these are not fragile. I have been told the factory are working on a replacement parts kit and work hours sheet for dealers so they can retrofit the replacement parts at the dealership.

I wonder if those Euro cars were completed on a Friday???

Bit worried… my car was produced in the beginning of January :S … Hope it was one of the cars prior the bad batch of oil coolant brackets …

Your car will be fine of it came in on the shipment before the latest one....

mhh

My car reached Melbourne a week ago and I still haven't seen it. I wonder if they are fixing something?

My car still scheduled to be delivered tomorrow at the local dealer, but they confirmed it will need work to be done before they'll release it to me!

@Macca -- Any idea where the part is located on the car? Meaning, is it easy to get to or is it something that requires a lot of disassembly to access?

Probably where the fire starts...

PCNA must be behind the power curve just based off info in this thread.
My car completed production around 18 Dec. According to them, my car falls in the "recall" as the rep put it. She said the recall number is "AE01, and regards the motor". She said no specific VIN range is noted.

AE01? First time, I've heard that code.

Any word on timing for your fix and delivery?

JB991

Car is sitting at the port here in Houston. Sat in Emden for a month, now it sits here again. Really confusing to me.

0Q991

@JB991 -- Sorry to hear that, hoping it gets cleared up ASAP.

When did it arrive in HOU?

Hope Macca doesn't mind me jumping in......

In the pic below the oil/water heat exchanger is the rectangular "box" just to the left of the sump. I'm 99% sure this is the part at issue.

As you can see, it's directly adjacent to the driver side exhaust manifold which is why an oil leak could be catastrophic. The exchanger appears to be easily accessible after removing the engine undertray/diffuser.
