I hope this is just an isolated incident, but who can tell at this stage?

cmoose, I think that summarizes the current situation as clearly as we can. As has been said many times before with regard to the M96/97 engines, there are bound to be many that have suffered bore issues that haven't been reported, and that will probably also apply to the 9A1 engine to some extent, but the failure rate for this engine appears to be very low in comparison.

How much more isolated does something have to be to be isolated?http://www.planet-9.com/981-cayman-boxster-problem...
One 1 year old car with 5500 miles on it develops an engine problem, well, a noise, and like Porsche has done since day one it is just going to swap out the engine and replace it with a new one.
No doubt the old engine is going back to the engine factory for a nice postmortem. The engine could actually be resurrected without much work and put back into service as a remanufactured engine.
