Our unit, which I believe was built just prior to yours is still sitting at 160.

Thanks for sharing. Mine, which according to GENIUS is on a ship headed for Baltimore VPC, is not affected. Still hoping to find out the details behind the tower strut front left issue.

My vehicle had been sitting in “quality check” since May 30th but this morning switched to “Final Assembly”. No one confirmed my car was being held due to the strut issue, but it was always my guess. Maybe they have now got it figured out.

These won't show anything even if a car is affected by the strut tower issue.

One of the links references if the car is part of any campaign. Is the strut tower problem not even a campaign?

Unrelated to much, but I took delivery of my car yesterday (I see why y'all are into these cars now!) and I'm slowly digging through all the paperwork.

As I was filing stuff away, I found this little gem. Apparently there is a VDC! Who knew??

Scottydont1414 · 07-09-2023, 12:19 AM

My car was affected and I have delivery booked for Monday afternoon.

The fix or inspection must have been pretty minor

Colinv6 · 07-09-2023, 02:41 AM

I had an M2 out yesterday for the day to see what I thought (it’s really rather excellent to be honest)

However over some bumps at slow speed I did hear a knocking noise from the front end. Now I’m wondering if it could have been relayed to this? I guess I’ll never know.

Anyways the car was fantastic.

That's awesome.
The question is, do you know if your car had a workorder for the repair?
Or was it inspected and found good then released?

Could be left-in shipping blocks?

No I don’t think so as the car rode lovely and didn’t sit higher than expected.

I am getting the same message. And my car is still on a ship en route to a VPC.

Is there a difference between a "technical enhancement" and a recall?

That is for the strut tower issue even though they make no mention of it. Here's an example, 'Federbeindom vorn nacharbeiten' translated to English is 'Rework the spring strut dome in front'.

Mine has also been there since 6/16 and I also have the same message from those sites.

Squidget · 07-09-2023, 09:23 PM

Man, how many cars are actually impacted? We'll never know, right?

Ya we were on the same ship.
Almost a month there is crazy, hoping for some good news this week.

G42 Pilot · 07-10-2023, 09:18 AM

Do you guys have the ZTK package on this stop sale? Mine came on the same ship as you guys 6/16, has the ZTK option and stop sale. Just wondering if its just ZTK cars.

The ZTK delineation option is for the G42 M240. No such option (to add vs not add) on the G87.

Easy to get confused on the wrong forum with the title like it is.

The gift that keeps on giving. At least the URLs are different now. Ah, the good old days.
