Correct.

Insurance companies stance:

'We regret that until the manufacturer completes the necessary repairs and issues a formal “safe to drive” notice, we are not prepared to maintain offering comprehensive cover on any Carrera GT which may be susceptible to the risk that Porsche have identified.

We do appreciate the likelihood of a problem is remote, but as we are obliged to provide unlimited personal liability cover for vehicles insured on a comprehensive basis, we cannot take the risk of maintaining road risk liability, when the manufacturer has issued a “do not drive” instruction. For reference, we are taking this stance on all Carrera GTs that we insure, and would adopt this same approach with any manufacturer who issued such an important notice on their vehicles.'

End of fun until Q3 2024, I understand there maybe some improvement on LT for the new wishbones.

which insurance company is this? I haven’t heard anything from mine (State Farm)

Heard the same.

Chubb and Aviva. The UK teams are reaching out to their colleagues globally as confirmed by a call I had with Chubb on Monday.

For those of us that have installed Ohlins or KWs, can we continue to drive the car (and get approval from insurance company to do so)?

RS Clubsport

it’s the wishbones that are affected these remain OEM. Aftermarket dampers are only the shocks and springs.

it’s the rose joints where the wishbones mount to the tub that are the at risk parts.

Damn, this is depressing. The Supercar subforum went from talking about a new P Supercar concept to an old supercar that may be grounded for months . It has been my only “fun car” for quite a long time (I’m not complaining) but a slippery slope turned full mechanical resto 1965 911 project should be done any week now (I’ve gone from any month to any week!). So it’s possibly “good” timing because the cgt won’t get much drive time after being reunited from a 2 year process on the old guy. This definitely strengthens my argument with the wife that 2 is the BARE minimum for fun cars. What if one is out of commission for months?! What am I to do in the meantime?

Received the dreaded recall letter a couple days ago, so far still ok on the insurance side of things.

^ likewise. BUT if there's an official recall, while you are convered, you hit someone.... how does it work... you are "illegally" driving the recall car or will you still be covered?

maomao911

Pretty sure then it comes down to whether the accident is result of the failure of the specific part involved in the recall?

BlueGT3

thats my concern. Btw drove mine yesterday for 90 minutes early. No one on the road. It was glorious.

I've been pondering this comical situation where Porsche has a CGT corral at Rennsport. Do they cancel the corral? What about parade laps? Funny.

mooty

buddy.
I suggest you hire joey, so we can buy a triple car open trailer and. his F550 will tow u me Richard CGT for the PARARE lap.
we can always compute who is longest... the trailer that is.

BlueGT3

I would love it if this group, as well as other CGT owners, could pull together Porsche for a meeting (in person or virtual) to brief on the situation and recommendations (e.g. compensation) over the next ~12 months. It isn't healthy for a car like this to sit idle, especially for most of us who intend to drive these cars many miles over many years to come.

RS Clubsport

Already something we are working on with 25 UK owners. FYI, the word 'compensation' has been proffered by PCGB, although no clarity on what this would be. I am 500 miles off 60,000 miles and have done 10,000 in the last 12 months, I'm really unhappy to say the least!
