This is a US NHTSA recall that requires manufacturers contact owners (in writing) of when, how, and where to get their car repaired.

Only cars on the list built between the dates shown will get recall notices (based on Porsche records).

If you do not have center lock wheels - then this recall does not affect you.

If in doubt call Porsche at 1-800-767-7243 or the NHTSA at 1-888-327-4236. Porsche Safety Recall No. AB01

Thanks for the quick reply Loren.

I do have a GT3 with center locks (my signature is out of date...), which were exchange for new ones.

I was just wondering if there are some new instructions regarding the greasing etc.
