Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

i hope i am not beating a dead horse, and i am new to this great site..but i am interested in getting a 996 or 997, but some people are making a big deal about this,,,, what is it and how many cars really had it???? was it hard to correct? excuse my ignorance....thanks in advance
The dead horse is still kicking... Do a search here.. you will have hours of opinions to help you make a decision & know what to look for..........
Just as Torags said......do a search and read for hours. FYI.....there is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY to get the % from anybody but PAG or PCNA and they ARE NOT giving that info out to anybody.
As mentioned, theres no way to get an accurate percentage of how many cars had the RMS replaced unless you went and pryed it out of Porsche somehow. As to how big of a deal is it. If your dealership has parts, you could technically drop the car off in the morning and pick it up at the end up the day.
Not only is there no way to get the percetage of cars who have had their RMS replaced, but you will never know how many RMS repairs were made that were not necessary.
its not that big of a deal in terms of the actual repair, but it is a big deal that so many cars have this design flaw.
another damn RMS thread!
I have only a single thing to mention on this beaten horse. Drive your car and enjoy it. When it breaks...fix it. That is all. Chad
