The topic is a major, major recall of the very expensive one-time flagship -- which happens to have an 'storied' or 'chequered' past -- of a "well positioned brand" (read: "deep pockets manufacturer"). The shop Tech behaved 100% as instructed by the shop management: Keep your mouth shut, keep you job. He was never going to venture any meaningful info of his own.
Sean just needs to shut up and let the expert talk that would be the advice of most of the viewers here... Hopefully that's easy enough to understand, lol
Presenter needs to work on his interviewing skills. Let the knowledgeable gentleman you’re there to hear from speak, and listen to his responses. He didn’t do either very well.
A fairly common fault when using steel cased bushes or sphericals in a lightweight stressed aluminium suspension arm. Have seen this on quite a few high perfomance cars over the years. Slight moisture ingress between the two dissimilar metals causes galvanic corrosion, and the corroding aluminium expands, causing extra stress which can crack the arm around the bush. It's always a good idea to run a bead of sealant around each side of the bush/arm interface to stop moisture ingress. Props to Porsche for sorting this problem after 20 years.
Good analysis...this happens in the aerospace industry as well. Always have a barrier of seal, primer, or other isolation media to thwart conductive pathway between dissimilar metals, especially when moisture and/or salt is introduced.
Interviewer kept interrupting the expert in an attempt to demonstrate his knowledge. Let the man speak, unless you enjoy being politely corrected by the professional.
Has absolutely nothing to do with Porsche caring about its customers, it’s about Porsche not wanting to be sued into non existence for knowingly giving customers a dangerous product
Oh WHOW ❣️😲 Sieht ja richtig geil aus, unter der Karosserie ❕👌🏼 Carbon Cassis, Push rod Federung, alles schön analog und mechanisch... ich liebe es 😊 Auch nach 20 Jahren, genau so faszinierend wie neu 👍🏼 Dankeschön für den Einblick 🙏🏼 Lieben Gruß aus Berlin 🇩🇪, Ramsi 🙋🏻♂️
I underwrote commercial insurance for 35 years; we never restricted customer access to workshops. Garages buy the signs to keep the customer out of the mechanics space as it kills productivity and it can be a hazard to the customer. It's a lot easer to blame "The Insurance Company" than it is to explain the reasonable.
Nice to see brand stand behind their top tier customers. Too bad that lower level customers who also prop that brand who experienced the IMS, were out of pocket...
This era cars are unbeaten drivers. Height of balance. This car was so advanced in took tire technology to catch up to its capabilities, 20 years later.
OUCH, but well done Porsche for not making the owners eat this problem, on a 20 year old car. Saying that, Harley did replace the shifter forks on my then 10 year old Harley, with 110K miles on it...they were fine, but I got a new shifter top anyway....now has 234K miles....
Wow - this recall is exactly what a GT owner was discussing with me a couple of months back when I visited Montecito on holiday. He owns two, Seal grey and Yellow - I thought this was his one! (Until I saw the license plate obviously)

Lets keep this based on reality. Porsche is seeking to mitigate any litigation with this action. Porsche does not want another multi-million dollar cost for creating a defective product.
You talk far too much learn from the other viewers shut up and let the interviewee answer the questions... you don't need to answer your own questions, lol! You might even need to get a new day job.
They all knew, and knew we'll and long ago, alot of thee exotic even back in the day ie are all race cars purposely put on the streets for those who pay the money for it, so safety and regulations are side stepped to profit, hence what elon is trying to do now as the head of the FAA refuses to let his projects fastrack in lieu of safety and prevention of catastrophic possibilities which can happen anytime and someone or people die. If it wasn't for a well know person like Paul Walker whom also represents the c ar community, it wouldn't been swept under the carpet, just like Ford and the fuel tank placed in a crumple zone in the trunk as part of the structure, hence why when they often got rear ended they caught on fire and killed innocent people, this was in the poplar mustang and pintos, as if you go back to that era in was always in the news, ford never owned up to it, as in ww2 they were in bed with the government and built the b2 bomber for the ear and for that the government backs them up, just like when gm needed a bail out, us tax payers paid for their corner cutting and as a result poorly made design cars no one buys and the tax payer have to bail them out, but when they profit you and I don't get a tax break or a profit quarterly check as we.paid out of pocket with out taxes for their short comings and corner cutting to profit
The video is good - BUT - next time please show us the actual points of failure. You mention spherical joints then the tech talks about heim joints. Are these one and the same? Please discuss WHY Porsche started the recall and show video of the parts affected. Be specific. Also, no need to fawn over seeing the underbody with panels removed - the audience watching this has already seen this on multiple cars.
"Typical recall".... nothing is typical on a Porsche. So salt is a factor (duh) no matter what the badge looks like Salt is the Devil's seed. Snow tires and sand/kitty litter where needed... you'll be fine, white knucklers keep your Ferrari in the garage.
@@NY-xx7hu not much really since most of them are not being driven unless you're in Monaco or Dubai. Then it's so crowded you very rarely get it out of 3rd gear.
Who’s actually driving their Carrera GT where/when there’s salt on the roads to cause the corrosion issues? Paul Walker’s lawyers could potentially bring another case against Porsche for initiating this recall, hope they thought of that before.
14hr alignment? Total BS. Porsche would've taken 14hr total to assemble the car, with engine assembly being in parallel. So no way would Porsche production line monkeys spend even 30mins setting up the car's alignment.
As a former dealership tech, I can affirm the the tech's response of 8-10 hours for an alignment is accurate for a car of this complexity. Also, these were handmade - not on a moving assembly line. Each car took weeks to build, just like some Roll-Royce cars.

Ask a question and let the guy respond. You talk and interrupt too much.
Couldn’t agree more he has a hard time putting a coherent sentence together, super annoying.
Low EQ
Um, no. The conversation went just fine.
@@trueseeker262maybe. possibly just not great at interviewing.

The most insightful comment here!! Thanks so much: it's not only informative but can be applied to several products I can think of... Wow!!
Rolls-Royce had leather pouches stitched around certain ball joints, packed in grease. Still a viable idea.
I enjoyed the video very much. Found it very informative. Happy New Year to all the Audrain staff. We look forward to this coming year of events.

If they cared, they would have fixed it after Paul and his friend. Then DDE proved it. Now it’s a recall. Sad, Porsche. Sad.
It's a dangerous product even IF the suspension was perfect!!
@@imtheonevanhalen1557 Absolutely true.

Thanks for sharing. I heard about the recall but didnt know too much of the details
Video was almost unwatchable. Let the Porsche tech talk already!
Really interesting stuff you guys are doing here on TH-cam and ig. I’m loving the insight
I guess Porsche doesn’t want its well-heeled buyers dying in their Carrera GT’s due to suspension failure. Seems like a smart business move.
Twenty years later? Hardly likely.
Something smells rotten... and is not in Denmark!
Paul Walker?
Good show for porsche to honor their work. Most of the time cameras aren't allowed in the repair area, insurance purposes. Good show Audrain

@@Waretwo76Work hazardous areas are an insurance worry.
Not up to the usual quality of Audrain videos. The interviewer rambled and didn’t explain what the is issues were. You can do a lot better.
Nice to see brand stand behind their top tier customers. Too bad that lower level customers who also prop that brand who experienced the IMS, were out of pocket...
That is one heavy-duty recall, and it is on a 20-plus-year-old "limited" model. .. Porsche AG taking care of business.
Paul walker dying in this car will motivate Porsche to fix anything in this car
@@willjimenez9013no .. that was his stupidity.
I welded this parts with my Irish friend and a German colleague. Very safe now. All parts welded to aerospace standard and Xray tested...
This car certainly deserved an update. Many say it's the last analog supercar.
This era cars are unbeaten drivers. Height of balance.
This car was so advanced in took tire technology to catch up to its capabilities, 20 years later.
One could say the same thing about a Model T using that logic......
OUCH, but well done Porsche for not making the owners eat this problem, on a 20 year old car.
Saying that, Harley did replace the shifter forks on my then 10 year old Harley, with 110K miles on it...they were fine, but I got a new shifter top anyway....now has 234K miles....
Porsche pays for the recall
@@AudrainMuseumNetwork Oh, I am pretty sure that we, regular Porsche owners, will be paying for it in the end...
Wow - this recall is exactly what a GT owner was discussing with me a couple of months back when I visited Montecito on holiday. He owns two, Seal grey and Yellow - I thought this was his one! (Until I saw the license plate obviously)
With the recall I feel much more comfortable purchasing a GT, as soon as my Hyundai is paid off.
Happy New Year brother!
I knew it was going to be a great video after the opening clip of Donald and Jay! Thank you!
Beautiful car dude
Great video..
Interesting.
Any known recalls on my first car, a 1987 Yugo GL? 😉😄
Engineer/Strapless dyno tester at Watkins Glen-VIR for Carrara cup cars for Nemet Motors/Nissan Queens, NY (Kitt Karr Design & Auto-manufacturer/IBM). 1960'S lamont monocoque
Is this related to the lawsuits by the Walker family?
had me wondering the same if there was a correlation...
This car is twenty years old going on its third set of tires and still looks new. Amazing.
20 yrs old with its 3rd set of tires... FFS it's obviously never driven. What a waste of a car like this to just sit and stare at it.
how many approx of this recall will this tech see?
Remember... this started as a prototype/sports racer for LeMans... maintenance wasn't a consideration!
Of course they are that recall is responsible for a very famous crash
Which crash was that?
Lets keep this based on reality. Porsche is seeking to mitigate any litigation with this action. Porsche does not want another multi-million dollar cost for creating a defective product.
They didn't create one to begin with.
How many fatal/near-fatal crashes prompted Porsche to review the materials used in their suspension components?
I am guessing doing the 100k was better then paying 5 million after a wreck
You talk far too much learn from the other viewers shut up and let the interviewee answer the questions... you don't need to answer your own questions, lol! You might even need to get a new day job.
Now that Manthey is part of Porsche, was their GT3 upgrade considered? It should be available through and Porsche dealer.
The fact that Porsche charges customers $980 for a common 911 key is what helps pay for this sort of customer care. LOL!
I wonder if Porsche AG had done this recall if the car value was $300,000 like back in 2013ish. Now at $1.8M+ seems like a worthwhile recall.
Perhaps it is a poor engineering choice to use parts intended for a race track on a street car. Who knew?
They all knew, and knew we'll and long ago, alot of thee exotic even back in the day ie are all race cars purposely put on the streets for those who pay the money for it, so safety and regulations are side stepped to profit, hence what elon is trying to do now as the head of the FAA refuses to let his projects fastrack in lieu of safety and prevention of catastrophic possibilities which can happen anytime and someone or people die.

I came here to note letting the tech talk more…
Two words. Bore scoring.
RIP Paul Walker.
Don't blame the car for that
Recall after 20yrs ?

For the ‘common man’ you’re sol, but for the millionaires, Porsche will take care of you.

Lost me when he started getting into the torque specs of the wheels.
True, but about half of Audrain's audience are gearheads and mechanics who crave these details.
😎😎😎🌶🌶🌶👍👍👍👍
Me Me Me won't bother with this channel again
Bye bye Felicia
What can potentially happen without the recall? This is the car that got Paul Walker killed.
No stupidity and 10yr old tires did
No Paul Walker's stupidity got him killed
Ok, but what’s the potential thing that can go wrong on these cars without doing the recall
@@NY-xx7hu not much really since most of them are not being driven unless you're in Monaco or Dubai. Then it's so crowded you very rarely get it out of 3rd gear.
Paul walker guilt !
Maybe, but that was pure driver error...or do you blame Porsche for James Dean's death too?
@@JamesAllmond that was a two vehicle crash... Someone drove into James.
@@inlangfordand Paul was driving a hi performance sports car with old dry rotted tires ....
They were driving on old tires, end of story.
ABOUT TIME, PORSCHE! 😢
The steering wheel on my ‘83 Porsche 944 broke. Would Porsche cover that under warranty?
Who’s actually driving their Carrera GT where/when there’s salt on the roads to cause the corrosion issues? Paul Walker’s lawyers could potentially bring another case against Porsche for initiating this recall, hope they thought of that before.
Why? That crash was a driver error. Drove like an idiot on 10 yr old tires
You're clueless... Driving such a car with dry rotted tires was his careless fault. It has nothing to do with Porsche.
14hr alignment? Total BS. Porsche would've taken 14hr total to assemble the car, with engine assembly being in parallel. So no way would Porsche production line monkeys spend even 30mins setting up the car's alignment.
