What NHTSA recorded

Possible consequence

If the weld completely fails, the exhaust pipe can detach from the vehicle, which could startle the driver resulting in a crash.

Dealers will install a new tailpipe with a longer seam weld free of charge. The recall began on january 24, 2006. Owners may contact porsche at 1-800-545-8039.
