Recall

Any of you guys heard of this,

Porsche is recalling 1,702 Porsche 911s equipped with center locking hub and wheel assemblies because as the hubs wear, the wheels could loosen, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The recall includes the Porsche 911 GT2 RS, Porsche 911 GT3, Porsche 911 GT3 RS, Porsche 911 Turbo and Porsche 911 Turbo S.
Porsche told the federal government that should the affected vehicles be operated under racing conditions, there is a small possibility that the wheel-retention system may fail.

what do mean defective? could have been a major disaster if the rims flew off at high speed
