No, thank goodness.
Mine was an early one that came home December, well before the parts defect.

Not sure the details, but it’s either the connecting rods themselves or the bolts.

Wasn’t aware of this recall and “Stop the sales” and “Stop to drive” order that came from Porsche.

Just checked with my friend salesman who received his new GT4 last week and unfortunately for him he is part of this recall.

Yup, that would be devastating. Will you ever really trust your car after that?

I would not be concerned with the technical problem they have especially if the whole engine is replaced.

It seems it is a part’s supplier problem that had bad quality control and allowed the part to pass the test and ended up being part of the engine when being assembled.
