Well said Patrick,

I guess what I was really getting at with the lawsuit was to see if Porsche would do the same thing Harley-Davidson did with its Twin Cam 88 engine. I bought a '99 FLHTC with the first year 88 Twin Cam. The engines inner cam bearings were coming apart and destroying the engines. With documented cases, Harley-Davidson was forced to warrenty just those cam bearing from future failure. If a failure occurred the service department would order a repair kit that would consist of new bearing, cams, seals and gaskets. Labor is waived for the repair and the warrenty is good until 50,000 miles are on the clock, I think. My bearings were swapped out at 12,000 miles at no cost to me.

That to me is reasonable compensation to the customer for a design flaw. Should Porsche stand behind their product and do the right thing if the two (RMS/IMS) problems occur in a resonable mileage window? Yes. Do we need to go to the lengths of having to file a lawsuit? No. But Porsche should do the right thing.

BTW, Porsche designed, built and tested the V-Rod engine and its bullet proof!
