Haha I know. I'm just saying that it is minor in that if it is an inch over and out of the way of the coolant pipe then it's not even an issue. That's all. I realize the result can be catastrophic.

Besides...ask Ferrari. Fires are just part of ownership.

it's sorta like the seat belt recall. ONLY if the seat was physically FORWARD ALMOST THE ENTIRE WAY would it pose an issue. (no human could possibly sit in the seat with the seat in that position)

Meaning its not. Just Porsche being anal retentive and doing the right thing.

I say good on them.

I've physically fixed the recall myself. It's not that big of a deal. When they catch fire like a Ferrari then we will talk.
