DECEMBER 2007 -- Porsche
is recalling 37 MY 2008 911 GT3 and GT3RS
2-door coupe vehicles. The switch console
for the Porsche active suspension management
(PASM) and the traction control (TC-OFF)
switches was inappropriately installed. The
LEDs in the switches can signal a functional
change in the PASM mode or the deactivation
of traction control even though the switches
are not actuated. If the traction control or
active stability management system are
inadvertently disabled, and the subsequent
warning lamp illumination in the instrument
panel onboard computer is unnoticed by the
driver, the safety benefits of these systems
would be unavailable to the driver which
could increase the possibility of a crash
during aggressive driving maneuvers. Dealers
will replace the switch console. The
manufacturer has not yet provided an owner
notification schedule for this campaign.
