@@travis3810 thank you

[@Kloick]

You can see the changes in this video at 2:30, and the report is available online. They changed the material of a part from X46Cr13, a stainless steel (a martensitic and not very corrosion resistant alloy) to 42CrMoS4, an alloyed steel somewhat similar to 4140, which is very common in machine/automotive components. The recalled parts are the ball joints, but they do mention the wishbones may also be affected. Don't know where that guy came up with the titanium thing, I doubt titanium components would be affected by occasional exposure to road salt.

[@NoStopN]

As someone who worked at a tire shop for 10 years, I've got to say that the replacement tire idea from Porsche is a great idea. Not only might some owners still be on their factory tires, but new tires for this car aren't cheap. Sure, most owners can likely afford new tires without batting an eyelash (not sure about Doug), but would they actually replace them if they don't drive the car very often? After many years, the rubber gets dry & the owners won't bother replacing them unless they begin to lose air & drivers will have to air them up just to go for a leisurely drive. Yes,Porsche might be making the decision to replace the tires as part of a PR damage control (long after the controversy made headlines), but a new model of tire with new technology is welcome.

[@mrd.808]

Even Walter Röhrl stated the CGT will be very challenging to handle. Use stickest tires and drive only on dry warm FIA certified tracks. Awesome coverage Doug

Well thought out and well said Doug. Once everything is set, take on nice long drive and of course record the entire ride. Please share it. Then take it on a drive up to Palomar and challenge them if they can take a picture with the telescope of Your Porsche on another mountain road. Don’t know if it can make that angle, but they probably have nothing to do anyway. And that probably has never been done, which of course makes it sort of interesting. Enjoy!

[@vinzenzgeske8987]

I don't get the titanium thing: in the recall, Porsche said the faulty part was made from "X46Cr13" and that it will be changed to a part made from "42CrMoS4". Both of those are high-strength steels. The new one has better corrosion resistance and a higher toughness (=less prone to fracture). Even if they really changed over to titanium (which, in general, has an even higher corrosion resistance), there's no way in hell the part is 100+ thousand dollars. They are probably adding the R&D as well as the tool making to the price.

While Porsche did the right thing, the fact that once they announced that voluntarily, they wanted people to bring their cars to a service center to be checked for a safety critical item, they open the can of worms. Especially if they internally demonstrated that a suspension component exposed to Salt mist spray that can crack under certain conditions, now they had evidence of a design flaw. The company really doesn’t want to be sitting on evidence that under certain nominal, driving conditions a safety critical part can fail. So in a sense because they had integrity they needed to issue that do not drive order.
