Summary: Certain 2 door coupe and convertible passenger vehicles may have been supplied with a tailpipe that may have been produced with a weld located between the fastening clip and exhaust pipe, which is inadequately dimensioned.
Consequence: If the weld completely fails, the exhaust pipe can detach from the vehicle, which could startle the driver resulting in a crash.
Remedy: Dealers will install a new tailpipe with a longer seam weld free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule. Owners may contact Porsche at 1-800-545-8039.
