It seems the NHTSA has opened a file for the Coolant fitting failure on the GT3/GT2/Turbo glued in fittings. IF you have had a failure or done a preventative coolant fitting repair please file a complaint. The more we have on file the better the chance action could be taken.

This and the center-lock issue should be written up as a B-school case study on how to destroy customer loyalty.

Just because you're concerned isn't going to help the DOT/NHTSA make a case against Porsche.

So what, I should wait until it fail and crash then I file a report?
Isn't this similar to the Firestone tires recall? NTSB recalled millions of Firestone tires because the potential risk of burst? How many failures need to happen before they started the recall?
I have seen many recalls where no serious injuries had occurred and the issue didn't seem all that bad. They still issued an recall.

Steve W on rennlist did a DIY with the pinning of the pipes in the car. Look at this thread - it will show you the fittings.

I spoke to a NHTSA rep and his supervisor. I did not have a failure but was advised by my mechanic that this issue had to be addressed even though I didn't have a leak yet. They told me to file a claim. I recommend calling them.

How did you fill out the form? Did you call instead of submitting the form? What did you report as the "incident"?
