Recall on Coolant caps

[Joji]

Just a heads up. Porsche issued a recall on coolant caps. I went through 3 of them and they were all defective. I received the newest one that was fixed and it works.

A little more detail please.
Do you mean there is a new part number and the caps have been updated or just a bad run of caps?

[Joji]

The caps should end in 03. But there was a bad batch as well with caps ending in 03. I f you care having problems buy a new one and make sure they sell you the newest ones otherwise you will be in the same place

Recall usually means you bring in your car and get a new cap, no charge. Is this true? I'm calling my dealership in the morning to confirm.

Thanks man, good to know.

Thanks. I've been going nuts trying to figure out why mine is seeping.

What symptom did your failed caps exhibit?

Does anyone know if updating the cap is necessary?
