RS 4.0 Recall understanding
In layman's terms, can someone help me clarify the recall items outstanding on the 4.0?
I'm more concerned about engine items than the center lock stuff. Just how serious is this and has anyone experienced failures?
Thanks.

is this what you are referring to?
" Porsche has determined that an intake air distributor may have been installed in your vehicle during production with a guiding shaft for the resonance flap that does not meet Porsche specifications. As a result, the shaft may break and broken pieces may get into the intake duct or, ultimately, into the combustion chambers. This can cause loud noises and may result in mechanical damage if the engine is not stopped immediately.
To prevent any damage occurring the intake air distributors in your vehicle need to be replaced"

Yes, I believe so. In any event, #177 has been my pristine garage Queen. Now, I don't want to drive it at all until this is fixed. I assume a knowledgeable individual with a set of sockets can accomplish the job.'

It's a simple fix but must be done at a dealer... and the recommendation is to have it towed there, but a friend drove his to the dealer and was fine. The probability of it going wrong are somewhat low but are you while to gamble?
