Thanks for this post! It reminds me of, and makes me wonder those front strut towers that were cracking apart on the track on the 2016 GT4's. Did anything ever come of that?

p.s. I moved this into the Cayman/Boxster forum to help those owners see this...

Tom - thanks for moving the post - I missed that added category.

My 2014 Cayman S falls within the manufacturing date range that this recall mentions, but checking my VIN on the Porsche recall web page says "There are currently no open recalls for this vehicle." The dealer says the same.
So evidently it is not all cars that are affected.
