UK cars affected as well.. Today's DT covers it.

German engineering at its best.

No parts so owners stuck w/o a car till Feb 2025 apparently.

Quite funny that the Sun article in the link features pictures of three different Porsche models, none of which have the single centre bolt.

I wouldn't worry too much about this inconvenience. The models affected are the most hardcore versions. Given that, and the price these cars cost, it would be fair to assume owners will have at least two other cars at their disposal.

< The Sun never deals with facts, the Daily Mail avoids them if they can and the Daily Telegraph is remodelling to out-Mail the Mail. The Guardian ignores inconvenient ones. Facts are inconvenient when they disagree with your political opinions.

It's true, the affected models are the high-end versions, so most owners likely have other vehicles available. Still, it's an unfortunate situation for those impacted!

c. £250 each? Torque >400ftlb? What happens if you get a puncture? Nuts! (not bolts)
