Apparently details on the compensation package being released next week. Macan t turned up this morning as temp transport.
Stop using vehicle recall on center locking 992s
- Thread starter Tarun
- Start date
Also still no word on the fix, although a recent post on reenlist suggests a dealer has booked to fit new centre lock wheels, think this may be in the us
Just arrived home & opened the letter. Not had a chance to read the posts here, sorry.
I have a 992.1 Turbo S & a Taycan Turbo GT. Both have centre locks.
Guess then these are both affected. Darn.
Edited 08/11/24: No, my Tacan isn’t affected of course. Doh!
Waiting on a call from Porsche Swindon.

Used the Porsche Recall/Campaign Lookup page on their website and all it gave me for my Turbo S Cab was "There are product updates available for your vehicle. Please contact your Porsche centre." No details about the recall - and sadly my car is in the centre lock recall group, manufactured late Sept 2023. I got my email and phone from Porsche UK a week ago on the 30th, about 5 days after a lot of guys in the US got theirs. Not impressed with the lack of customer service from Porsche so far, or indeed the appalling lack of detailed information about the problem. Should have gone with the DB12 I guess.....
Just had an update from Porsche Swindon, from whom I bought the car. They have heard nothing further from Porsche but are hoping to have some more information in about a week.

I have had the letter too for my 992 Turbo S. I spoke to my OPC and they asked me to pop the cap off the centre locks and take some pics, apparently they will check the numbers to validate if really do need fixing. Has anyone else been told this?

Not heard from my dealer but saw the below from pistonheads, apparently from OPC Bristol.

I’ve had a bit more info today.
Turns out it’s a range of 5 weeks production only, but they are checking over several months production just in case.
The process involves checking the batch numbers on each wheel bolt.
1. If outside the range they release car back to customer.
Or
2. If inside range they order bolts and are given a deliver date from Porsche. Bolts then fitted and car is released back to customer.
My car has been checked and IS affected. Bolts ordered and due first week December.
Turning out to be not that bad in the end.
Looking forward to getting my daily driver back and roof down on those dry winter days.

You're a lucky guy. Spoke to OPC Swindon today and no further update than more detail about the problem, which apparently relates to a spring loaded ring that the receives the centre lock nut that they believe malfunctioned on the US car that had the failure. Apparently the torquing requirement of 65nm is very precise and they're not sure if the guy had changed his wheels himself. It would seem that this is all a significant abundance of caution. I've had no mention of bringing my car in for inspection, and if they do and then have to wait for parts, they have no internal storage. In which case I'll insist they bring it back to me to garage it, rather then sit outside for a month. Keep the info coming guys, it's reassuring.Not heard from my dealer but saw the below from pistonheads, apparently from OPC Bristol.

I read that yesterday, and have a feeling that particular dealer is just playing it down. Porsche have said that the window is much bigger than that, and I believe that if it is just a case of checking a couple of part numbers, why would Porsche issue a stop order, give everyone loan cars, and discuss compensation, when all they’d need to do is send mechanics to owners houses to check this for themselves? At a fraction of the cost.Not heard from my dealer but saw the below from pistonheads, apparently from OPC Bristol.

OPC’s are currently working to narrow down the number of cars affected by asking owners to check the batch number on their centre lock ( fairly straightforward) , seems most cars were manufactured over an approx 6 week period. I was asked to check the batch numbers on my car, which are 45W-23 and 46W-23. Both of these batches are affected, so my car remains in my garage
. I was told yesterday that OPC’s are expecting (currently) to commence replacing the affected parts in early January, but this is not yet confirmed by Porsche GB. In the meantime, I have a Mercedes E Class rental from Enterprise.Yes. Even if the car is in the window the serial numbers apparently determine of the car is impacted. Sadly, mine has had the serial numbers checked and is one of those affected.
one lock out of 4 on mine needs changing. no date yet for the replacement yet and got an enterprise car yesterday.
I'm exactly the same as you John. My 992.1 GTS centre lock batch week 45/23 and Mercedes E class (e220d) from Enterprise!OPC’s are currently working to narrow down the number of cars affected by asking owners to check the batch number on their centre lock ( fairly straightforward) , seems most cars were manufactured over an approx 6 week period.

Yes not great is it. I had engine mounts go on my gt3, all covered under warranty lucky enough. Still no further info today from the opc, at least I have a Macan loaner I guess
Same here they are picking the car up though to check in their Workshop whether the car is impacted. they are still waiting to hear on compensation.
I’ve now got a technician booked to come over on Monday morning to inspect my car. Will have an answer within 48 hours, as to whether my car is affected or not.
Hi, which Porsche OPC is it that you liaising with? It's odd that they are not all doing the same thing and sending technicians to check the cars.
