Carrera GT is not on the list. i know it is a bit older but it looks like the Centerlock is quite different on the new models.

 

Maybe thats the reason my center locks all came loose!!! I bought the last one in the US! I hope they replace the rest for free.

Thanks for the post. Tried calling Porsche, but they are only open Mon-Friday 8:30 am to 8:30 pm ET. I will call on Monday to see what the process will be. Anyone call yet? The post says wheels and CL hubs are to be replaced. I had my OEM wheels powder coated aftermarket. I hope they will still honor the recall even though I altered the wheels. I wonder if Porsche will reimburse me for the powder coating I had done? I hate to be out some more money for powder coating.

 

I dropped my 2010 GT3 at the dealership last night to replace a tire which had a nail in it. They worked on it today. When they called me they told me they didn't even want to let me pick it up until they replaced the centerlocks. They "hope to have them in by Tuesday". I'm sure I could have pushed them but I will just as well leave it there until they take care of it.

 

Kind of strange. I have a gt2rs no 463. My dealer ran the vin and no recall is noted for for my car. Checking again on Monday.

Edit just looking about the net and all the pictures of cl's that I found have the 500nm spec noted on the cl. Mine do not have this notation, only the 100nm notation.

Can post pics if helpful
