Carrera 4S: recalled
Some 18,600 cars are affected, those built between April 2004 and October 2005, according to Porsche. In a worst-case scenario, the defective welding joints can lead to the loss of the tail pipe, although it's being reported in the US that, according to Porsche US subsidiary, only the tips of the exhaust pipe are affected.
The fix takes some 25 minutes to apply, and will, of course, be at zero cost to the customer.
The last recall from Porsche was in December 2004, where 18,150 Cabs needed repair at a cost to the firm of some €10 million.
