has Porsche let us down?

I have driven toyota trucks for decades and I can assure you that if they had had a problem like that they would have taken the responsibility to fix it. If LN industries can make a fix for it, why did not porsche do so instead of just continuing to sell expensive sports cars with a flawed design that cost a big percentage of their loyal buyers $20K to fix? Don't get me wrong, I love Porsches, bought my first in 1964 and now own 3 of them, but I sort of feel like they have let me down by not addressing a problem they knew existed and was very costly to fix. Anyone else have an opinion?

What year was the Porsche?

My 986? It was a 1998 had under thirty on it but it was not purchased from a Porsche dealer, lesson learned.
