I heard that Porsche has a recall on the 2014 GT3s due to "loosened fastener on a connecting rod in the engine sparked a number of fires".
A couple of searches stated that Porsche is just replacing the engines outright. http://autoweek.com/article/car-news/911-g...ing-all-engines So what are they planning on doing with the removed engines? AND (just a thought experiment here) HOW can a loose rod fastener result in engine fires unless the rod just comes loose and the engine bursts into flames??? So for all of those that HAVENT experienced the meltdown, WHY a complete engine replacement? |
