Default Insurance pulled with CGT 'stop use' campaign

Guys, as per the title, some of us in the UK in fact most UK owners have had our insurance cover for road use pulled due to the PAG 'stop use' campaign.

Have any of you had your insurance revoked so can't drive your cars? Crazy situation in the UK we are trying to resolve, be good to get your input from the US.

Cheers

No issue with insurance in the US - there is no mandatory stop-use here. Just inspect and continue using if inspection is ok.

Also, spoke with porsche top management at Le Mans last month...the recall/replacement part is from Porsche being extra cautious with the smallest chance of an issue with their halo car.

I have no concern driving the CGT.

Biggest caution still the same - 600hp and minimal TC requires appropriate respect

The inspection in the APA3 campaign has been withdrawn so this will not take place. APA3 is now replacement parts with no inspection option.

PAG are locking down hard on this and enforcing ‘stop
use’ so I fully expect this will be a global restriction on using our cars until new parts are available in Q3 2024.

The two main UK insurance companies for CGT owners Chubb and Aviva have pulled cover this will no doubt extend to all regions for fear of litigation in the remote chance of a spherical joint failure and accident or claim attributable to this.

I wish this were true, but the NHTSA website displays an URGENT: DO NOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE notice for any VINs implicated. See here https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls and check your VIN.

The same will be lodged with DVSA (UK equivalent) shortly. I spoke to PCGB yesterday, they have the documentation prepared to submit at which point they will receive a URN and it will be logged on the UK GOVT website as 'Stop Drive'. Insurers will not cover road use any more, so the cars will be off the road until late in 2024. They have no choice other than to withdraw road use cover. I spoke to the Senior Underwriter at Chubb UK yesterday. Unless the existing parts can be inspected by Porsche and confirmed OK (only possible by the Weissach team and clearly not practical for 1200+ cars) Porsche re-iterate 'stop drive'.

Yes, this is confirmed, from Porsche Cars GB;

How do we proceed?



Given the exclusivity of the model, and limited production, unfortunately the required new parts are currently forecast to be available during the third quarter of 2024. Porsche AG is working at high pressure to optimize this timeline in order to enable parts availability as soon as possible.

As soon as the optimised parts are available for your vehicle, we will contact you to schedule an appointment to carry out the action.

As much as its nice that Porsche is doing something, they kind of need to provide something else as well...as thats way too long to be paying for insurance and not being able to use the car.
