The 2014 Porsche 911 GT3 - Porsche has officially halted sales due to possible fires

Porsche has ordered it dealerships to stop selling the 2014 version of its elite GT3 

Due to unexplained fires Porsche has asked owners to park their '2014 911 GT3's...

              Early reports from Germany confirm that the GT3 may suffer from “Spontaneous combustion” as a couple overseas have reportedly burst into flames...for no apparent reason! Porsche USA is contacting current owners of the 2014 version and offering to have the GT3 picked up and returned to the nearest Porsche Centre for further analysis and repair.

              The parent company Volkswagen, decided act to swiftly and decisively in the matter hoping to ensure customer safety, product integrity, brand durability. So they decided to recall all 785 of the extremely powerful 475-Horsepower 911 GT3's and “look em' over” so to speak. Early reports state that by doing so the company hopes to discover some sort of pattern or design flaw responsible for causing the '2014 GT3 to burst into flames!

So the next time you see a 911 GT3 I hope its just like the one in this picture..at a DEAD stand still!

Through a statement issued today directly by Porsche USA...

               Today, Porsche has updated its stance on the issue with a statement in which it asks owners to stop driving their '14 GT3s, and confirms that a fault may exist with the engine, but notes that no injuries or accidents have occurred as a result:

"Safety is a number one priority at Porsche, and the company takes its responsibility seriously. After engine damage occurred in two vehicles in Europe and the vehicles then caught fire. Porsche decided to inspect all 785 delivered vehicles worldwide. There was no traffic accident and no personal injure. Internal studies to determine the cause of the engine damage have not been completed yet.”

               Porsche has gave its word it will report on any new findings immediately in relation to the matter." Whether or not you have to wait for the call as an owner, I'm not sure. I would think you could actively call your local Porsche Centre and inquire in regards to your GT3. Whatever you do make sure you have the matter addressed as the dangers of spontaneous combustion are a reality on this model Porsche, the 2014 GT3 

            Porsche USA guarantees it is intensely studying the issue to find a solution. They have promised to keep both their dealerships and their customers updated in every way in regards to the issue. Also at least until they figure out a quick fix or solution pay a little more attention to who your sitting next to at the light! Hopefully not a 2014 GT3!  

             So if your one of the 785 owners of the GT3 2014 please drive your Corvette instead! At least until Porsche can get a handle on these “Spontaneous” 911 GT3's.
