DUE TO WELL-DOCUMENTED ISSUES WITH GLUED COOLANT TUBES FAILING AND RESULTANT LOSS OF COOLANT OVER REAR TIRES WHICH WOULD ALMOST CERTAINLY MAKE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE IMPOSSIBLE IN THE "GT1"-ENGINE PORSCHE MODELS, I HAD THE COOLANT TUBES WELDED TO THE COOLANT MANIFOLD OF THE ENGINE AT MY EXPENSE AT MY LOCAL PORSCHE DEALER TO PREVENT THE FAILURE FROM OCCURRING. I STRONGLY FEEL THAT THIS KNOWN FAILURE MODE SHOULD BE COVERED BY A NHTSA RECALL AND THE COST OF THE REPAIR SHOULD BE BORNE BY PORSCHE.
