The recall affects 911 Carrera and 911 Carrera 4 models from the 2012 and 2013 model years, but only those built from March 7, 2012, through November 12, 2012.

My car is in the build time, I am upgrading to PSE, can you say discount?

Should this occur, the tail-pipes could become a hazard for other vehicles on the road, increasing the risk of a crash. SINCE WHEN DID PORSCHE CARE?? my freaking coolant lines didn't matter to them.

The discount is because they would not have to provide new exhaust pipes, they would be installing the sport pipes.

I'd say discount! But I highly doubt they would care. Let us know if you get anything out of it... I am also looking at the PSE upgrade. Now, let's take a look at my door jam first...

OK, mine's affected :-(
