NHTSA received PORSCHE CARS NORTH AMERICA, INC.’s report on Dec 3, 2012. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 20, 2026.
Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.
What’s wrong with it?
If the rear hub fails, there may be a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Porsche is recalling certain model year 2010 911 GT3 vehicles manufactured May 15, 2009, through February 11, 2010.
The rear wheel hubs may be prone to failure under certain driving conditions.
Also, the original, suggested maintenance intervals may be insufficient to prevent wheel hub failure.

- Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
- This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
- How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
