Well it also says that the driver apparently recognized smoke and oil leakage after stopping (and that the car then caught fire for unknown reasons) .. but how trustworthy the information is … no idea

Sure. If this Swiss guy had have hacked the ECU, flashed up an new map, upgraded the headers and removed the centre muffler then by change the injectors could have been asked to operate outside their cycle rate, fouled an injector on, filled cylinders rich, caused ignition and caught the ancillary petroleum based products in the engine bay one fire.......
But I find it unlikely. I think Saeed f*cked up and you wont here any more on that...

It is crazy, but people do it all the time. Trying to outsmart OEM engineering almost always fails.

Do we know whether it is a 991GT3?

we dont know what caused this BUT If my car had the old thermostat and the dealer said it tested OK, I would demand they replace it with a new thermostat. Don't fall for he dealer said it tested OK.That's crap.

Fortunately, I didn't have to argue with mine. They confirmed that despite passing the test, they replaced it as a precaution. Kudos to them....

Tim, they will probably know as it should come up in the computer, but it can't hurt to ask. In fact, if you have your VIN, the service department should be able to check in advance if your car is affected. My guess, though, is that with a late January build, you're safe.
