MickH Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 I'm guessing the 718 doesn't have the baffle like the 987 then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

½cwt Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 Strange how organisations forget what they did 25 years ago to avoid a still valid problem.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scubaregs Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 Wow, I got that recall about two years ago iirc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ians Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 I also had the recall about 2 years ago. I just rang Tonbridge Porsche and was informed that the mesh grills fitted at the time are not up to scratch. booked the car in for replacements.

Richard Hamilton Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 I had the grilles fitted last year, but got the letter this morning. As has been said, seems like they weren't up to scratch and need replacing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm E Box Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 I had them done on my Cayman a couple of years ago and now have the same letter for my Boxster. Oh well hopefully they give me a decent loaner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GladysFriday Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 Why just the 718 and not the 981? Are there mesh filters on the 981? If so, I must take a closer look! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbone Posted January 17, 2022 Report Share Posted January 17, 2022 Got the same from Edinburgh OPC - Called up to make appointment to be told - forget it for now - we have now stock yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stark9 Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 It’s funny, with other brands you hope for something nicer than what you drive, but with Porsche I’m not sure I will get anything better, unless they are giving out 992’s!!

Gee-money Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 Had mine changed today, took around one hour for the work to be carried out including the normal heath check. Grills look alot smaller than the old ones. Lets hope they have got it right the second time around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
