Window defect recall

Burning Brakes
I am the only one that is not terribly excited about this. I like having original glass. I remember back in the day with my 80's and 90's 911's it was common to have rust form around the windshield seals from installers that would chip the paint during the windshield removal. I'm sure this is not an issue at the dealership but the point is that left undisturbed is always better. I guess better to have it replaced though vs a safety issue. I have noticed that my glass is unusually cloudy (and not just off-gassing). I do have the lightweight glass.

I have a 2023 C2GTS and a window whistling at 66 mph. Notified dealer will attempt to address at May annual service. Following closely.

Porsche is recalling 8,101 units of its 911 series in the U.S. - Porsche plans to start reaching out to owners on April 26, and will ask them to return their cars to a nearby dealer. If necessary, both the front and rear windows will be replaced during this process. The new glass will undergo a modified cleaning procedure, incorporating pumice powder, to enhance adhesion to the vehicle.

This is so absurd. So all GT cars affected….. just go to your friendly dealership and have them pull all your glass for replacement. No biggie…

I have a 2021 C2S with the Light Weight Glass option. At least as of today, my VIN doesn't pull up any recalls.
UPDATE: As of April 25, 2024 my VIN now shows up for the Glass recall.

The Recall Notice says that 10% of the noted vehicles are estimated to be affected and that an inspection will determine whether a replacement is needed. So do I read this right that not everyone will need the glass replaced ? My guess is they pry on the rearview mirror as a good indicator of the adhesion level of the glass. More to come on this but unfortunate for sure...

Lightweight sound and heat insulating glass on my windshield, 992 December 2021 build date. Glass appears clear except in bright sunlight and at particular viewing angles. No tinting film.

PCA article says you can go out on the NHTSA website and enter your VIN to check for the glass recall.
late October 2023 build here, mine isn’t showing up as part of the recall. Knock on wood I’m not having any issues with LW glass. It’s Pilkington brand on my car.
