A part of the steering column upper universal joint cracked during the manufacturing process.
Risk and remedy

This condition could result in noise and free play in the steering system and if left uncorrected, will result in loss of steering control.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect the universal joint for cracks and will replace cracked joints with new parts.
After the engine has been turned off, the rear heater will automatically operate in order to dissipate heat in the engine heating system. During this operation, the resistor for the rear heater blower can become overloaded due to a binding or seized rear heater blower.
Risk and remedy
Risk
The overloaded resistor can create heat sufficient toignite the plastic air pipe to which it IS connected, resulting in an enginecompartment fire.
Remedy
Porsche dealers will install a new resistor containing a circuit breaker.
The hydraulic brake pressure reduction valve causes the rate of hydraulic pressure reduction to slow down, which may result in the rear wheels locking-up even with the anti-lock brake system in operation.
Risk and remedy
Risk
Rear wheel lock-up may result in loss of vehiclecontrol and an accident.
Remedy
Porsche dealers will install a modified hydraulic brake pressure reduction valve.
The ball sockets on the cruise control linkage can break, allowing the cruise control linkage to become detached on one end and jam on nearby components, which could impair throttle plate operation.
Risk and remedy
Risk
Impaired throttle plate operation could prevent theengine from returning to idle, resulting in unwanted engine speed and possiblevehicle accident.
Remedy
Replace the current plastic ball sockets with a new linkage using steel ball sockets, and lubricate the cruise control relay lever. Owners are advised not to use the cruise control until the modification IS installed.

There IS no way to file this complain without mentioning the company who IS responsible for the safety of so many lives. Singer vehicle group also known as (svg) IS re-manufacturing these vintage classic porsche 911 from '89-'94 by disassembling them from nut to bolt and reassembling them to new svg specs with a modified engine and transmission. these cars are reassembled with a 500 hp engine and a ticket value price of over a million dollars, and yet one equipment that IS very vital to every motor vehicle the brake master cylinder IS the only used part on the vehicle. the brake master cylinder on every singer vehicles IS a rebuilt used master brake cylinder. again this IS a new reassembled vehicle from top to bottom except for the brake master cylinder. there IS a new master cylinder for these specific vehicles, where a company has manufactured to oem specifications and svg IS aware of the availability and refuses to offer their customers or IS concerned about safety. svg has an internal management issue as its apparent on glassdoor.com, where past engineers and employees who have worked at svg have expressed their feelings online. Upper management does not have a clear understanding of the production line. svg should have all of their productions of their cars halted due to safety concerns where past customers who have purchased these vehicles are still complaining about the braking issues that have gone to the dealer (svg), thier corporate location IS still using a used master brake cylinder. Svg website does not list the items used to make up the revised car, we believe they should state that svg uses a used rebuilt brake master cylinder on their one million dollar/500hp cars. we have attached the new brake master cylinder image and the part number IS 964-355-015-03, this IS the new brake master cylinder which IS readily available.
