2008 Porsche 911 GT3 recalls

Recall 07V-557: Electrical System

Reported Dec 11, 2007 · 37 vehicles affected · PORSCHE CARS NORTH AMERICA, INC.

Problem: On certain 2 door coupe vehicles, the switch console for the porsche active suspension management (Pasm) and the traction control (Tc-off) switches was inappropriately installed. The LEDS in the switches can signal a functional change in the pasm mode or the deactivation of traction control even though the switches are not actuated.

Risk: If the traction control or active stability management system are inadvertently disabled, and the subsequent warning lamp illumination in the instrument panel onboard computer is unnoticed by the driver, the safety benefits of these systems would be unavailable to the driver which could increase the possibility of a crash during aggressive driving maneuvers.

Fix: Dealers will replace the switch console free of charge. The recall began on december 7, 2007. Owners may contact porsche at 1-800-767-7243.

It caused paint damage all over the side of the car and damage to the interior finish. I received cuts to myself as I was driving about 60mph when this happened. Nothing hit the glass, there were no other cars around me. We immediately notified porsche na about the problem. The car also has a vibration that I think may have caused the problem. It took two weeks and seven contact attempts to get anyone…
