Went back through this thread. D@mn dude, you’re hard on 991 active spoilers 
A poll might be interesting to see what percentage of us have had an active aero failure.

Yep, and in both cases they were essentially the same message on my dash. Also in both cases it was day one of ownership. With the 991.1 TTS it happened when driving home from the dealer and turned out (after an overnight hotel stay and many attempts at fixing the problem) to be the air compressor under the frunk.

Update:
I have the car back and I haven't had the spoiler problem since.. I've only been out in it a couple of times so I can't be certain it is fixed but I would have expected to have had the problem by now.
Unfortunately my passenger door ticking/rattle around the middle speaker area has come back depite my efforts to pack cloth behind it and I've had some strange suspension type creaking from the driver side door area when going around left hand turns sometimes.. can't seem to replicate it easily nor tie down where it is coming from.
Ticking noise is exactly like this:
The dealer has no knowledge of a replacement part for this despite the guy's comments.

I' am amazed that there is no better solution to this than replacing a part that cost roughly 5k, what an disaster of a solution the engineer that did this should be ........ ****
I have been looking for better solution then this joke of a retractable front spoiler/wing and there seem to be just a handful. Of course you can go GT3 route fixed front spoiler and rear wing
and just code the retractable thing out. This should be a golden opportunity for a third party vendor to sell quite a lot of fixed spoilers/wings .
