There are about 10,000 Porsche 911 models equipped with GTI engines from model years 2001 to 2007 involved in an investigation by NHTSA on possible failure of a cooling hose fitting. A loose hose can cause rapid loss of coolant without warning, which could disable the vehicle and cause a slick on the road that could affect following traffic. There were 10 complaints by Porsche owners with the federal agency. One of the complaints claims that spilled coolant caused loss of rear tire traction, leading to a spin-out by the Porsche 911 that ended up off the road it was traveling on. No injuries were reported in the incidents reported to NHTSA I'm not sure what a "GTI' engine is; but, thought I would post this under 996 anyway.

Coverage and how to read this overview
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.
