Unhappy '04 996 recall?

Anyone know about this?Someone over on PPBB posted this:

Looks like a call to Holtz in the am.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Porsche is recalling its Cayenne sport utility
vehicle because the springs on its parking brake can rub against
other wires and cause a fire in the vehicle's instrument panel, the
federal safety officials said Thursday.

The recall affects 10,637 Cayenne S and Cayenne Turbo vehicles
from the 2003 and 2004 model years, the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration said. Porsche didn't report any injuries from
the defect.

The company also is recalling 1,805 of its 911 sports cars from
the 2004 model year because oil isn't getting to the internal gears
due to a part defect, NHTSA said.
