ATLANTA - Porsche announced
a recall of certain Porsche 911 Carrera S and 911 Carrera 4S sports
cars for potentially defective exhaust pipe tips. The recall involves
those cars built between April 20, 2004, and October 21, 2005, 5,385
of which were sold in the United States and Canada.
On these cars,
it has been discovered that the exhaust pipe tips fitted
to the tailpipes might have inadequate welding seams between
the fastening clamp and the tailpipe itself. Should these
welding seams fail, the tips can vibrate lose from the tailpipe
and fall off. To date, approximately 30 instances of this
occurrence have been reported worldwide.
Owners of these potentially
affected 911s will be informed shortly to take their cars to an authorized
Porsche dealer where new exhaust tips with improved welding seams will be
installed at no charge.
