Do Not Drive Your Luxury Car if it is Porsche!

[Mike]

We often hear a Supermarket recalling items of food
for various reasons, glass maybe in the can or maybe
the food is contaminated.

But Luxury carmaker Porsche are recalling 1,000 vehicles,
because the wheels might fall off!

Oh dear, this must be really upsetting, for the manufacturers
as the Germans want everything to be done properly.

I hope that it is just a precaution, but I fear it must be serious
to go public in such a manner.
Porsche recalls nearly 1,000 cars amid risk of 'wheels falling off'

This is aimed at the UK, so hopefully they will be OK elsewhere.

That’s interesting.

It seems like such a high end manufacturer with such a small number of impacted customers would handle it quietly with some sort of ‘white glove’ service promotion.

At what speed?

I heard that at least some models of Porsche EV are in trouble:

Are you thinking of buying an Electric Car? Wondering if your next vehicle should be an EV? Maybe watch this video. I own a Porsche Taycan and have been driving an EV for 3 years, I've had more recalls for this car than any other car I have owned. NOW Porsche are recalling their Porsche Taycan EV due to an issue with the batteries in them. Apparently they are a fire hazard. My EV was £130,000 brand new and is now worth less than £30,000. A brand new battery for the Taycan id around £45,000. So it may mean my EV is a Write off.​

Porsche are RECALLING my ELECTRIC CAR due to the BATTERY being a FIRE RISK! I may nEVer get it BACK!

Not a problem.....my other car isn't a Porsche, either.

That is ok. SO gave me a brand new bright red one as a present. It was fun while it lasted. Insurance for a 22 year o!d anyone?

Maybe, they are trying to show how caring they are, Aunt Bea,
safety before profit, they are brave, though!

Turning an issue into publicity. Cars and sales are not what they used to be.

It's not really a problem. The wheels only fall off at speeds above 140 mph.
