Consumer Description

SOME WIRE INSULATION HAS BECOME BRITTLE AND BROKEN AWAY, EXPOSING BARE WIRES. AS THIS COULD LEAD TO A FIRE, I FEEL AN INVESTIGATION IS WARRANTED. THE EFFECTED AREA IS WITHIN THE WIRE HARNESS, NEAR THE ALTERNATOR. ALTHOUGH IM HAVING MY CAR REPAIRED AT AN INDEPENDENT SHOP, A NUMBER OF PORSCHE DEALERS (VERIFIED BY AN INTERNET PORSCHE BOARD AND MY MECHANIC) HAVE CONFIRMED THAT THIS PROBLEM EXISTS, AND HAVE REPLACED HARNESSES WITH A NEW AND IMPROVED VERSION.
