My car is in the Dealership this week for seven recalls as follows:
Replace limit switch for backseat rest adjustment
Rework threaded joints on front and rear axle
Re-program control unit for assistance systems
Re-code airbag control unit
Replace pulse sender
Updating software for various control units
Replace engine mounts and retrofit caps.

i have already had the engine mounts fixed after a fail message but now parts are revised.

It would be nice to just switch to static mounts & ditch the dynamics.

No, not really.

Unless you enjoy the return of the widowmaker.

Is the .2 T a widowmaker?

ipse dixit

not enough power

I guess I should warn all those T guys tuning it up 🤪

ipse dixit

If you're going to tune the T, you deserve to be .... well. Y'know.

oh please. the 992 is essentially mid engined and with the modern suspension, its anything but dangerous. dynamic to static engine mounts aren't changing that.

I will disagree, in more intense driving (Track and corner) it makes a huge difference, or spirited driving.

They have been selling aftermarket dynamic engine mounts since the 90's. Most track cars I have, also have them. All you need to do is drive a old 911 SC on a track with and without, and you would see the significant difference. Heck, even honda did it for their accords in the 90's to remove engine vibration at low RMPs (and they of course are front engines).

Would you notice it as much in the new 992 S, probably not as much - but you would notice it when you hit 90% of your performance.

I just rebuilt a 1968 toyota land cruiser, and put them on it, as the original mounts at idle and high rpms, it felt like I was setting in a washing machine.

Quadcammer

Whats that now? you have dynamic engine mounts in your SC? I have had both stock and very firm engine mounts in my 993 and neither made the car feel dangerous at all. Change in feel...sure, but not like its going to turn into a snap oversteering untameable beast.

Considering an 992 has the engine a fair bit further forward and has a litany of nannies, I wouldn't worry about it becoming a widow maker.

Richard_Wallace

Yes, I rebuilt a 1979 911 Sc as a track car (this was back in the mid-90's). You probably wouldn't notice much if you do not track heavily. Which is what I was saying... If you are not at 90% you likely will not notice much, specifically with newer 911 models. I did however notice in my 993 a bit when pushing it, but that was more my DD not a track car.

Does anyone know if these have addressed for MY21? My car just finished production and wondering if I should plan on going in for these fixes.

Not for the faint of heart:

Dan Nagy

Holy cow. I would not have a lot of confidence that it was repaired correctly. That is way too involved.

Bluehighways

It would have been addressed in production well before the TSB was released. This is because a TSB is not released unless or until there is sufficient inventory in their parts warehouses to satisfy the number of vehicles that the TSB applies to. That and a parts warehouse inventory can not be filled until the production line is satisfied. The date on this TSB is July 8th and it "only" applies to 1,018 vehicles. I'd take a guess that any build date after March or April (or perhaps even prior to this) is probably already fitted with the components necessary.
