Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The variable valve timing adjuster sprocket bolts have a tendency to shear under high load. This is a documented issue that was also common in several other porsche models of similar production year ranges. The valvetrain loses timing, resulting in a catastrophic engine failure which disables a vehicle. My vehicle sustained such a failure and the car immediately went into "limp mode." all the valves on one cylinder bank were bent. Other models were recalled but the cayman and boxsters that came with the 9a1 engine were not. Porsche repaired my engine but they put the same part number that failed back into the car. There has not been an engineering revision to the part, and another failure is possible.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.

Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
