★ Addition ★This product is currently under recall in Japan. If your vehicle is affected, please be careful and check the following.

Applies to center lock only

Now, as of now, I have not heard of this information in Japan yet, but it is starting to become a hot topic in the United States.

I thought this might be quite dangerous, so I thought I'd write about it, even though I don't know how notifications are handled in Japan.

Affected Porsche vehicles will be notified to stop driving

Applicable vehicles:

problem:
Identified that some of the specific center lock wheel bolts may not have been manufactured to specifications, which could result in the bolts cracking or breaking.

This appears to be the notification given in the US, but similar notifications are also beginning to appear in Europe.

The US notification states that 1,825 vehicles are affected, but according to an article published in Germany, the number of affected vehicles worldwide is 10,600, which means that Japanese vehicles are likely to be included.

By the way, a person named diuster who lives in Japan also reported that the center shaft of his GT3 RS broke while driving on a circuit.

Please note that this only applies to "center lock vehicles" among models manufactured during the applicable period.

May your car be safe.
