W425 - Replacing Clutch Slave Cylinder
(Workshop Service Action)

Vehicle Type:
911 Carrera (996) / 911 Carrera 4 (996)

Model Year:
M.Y. 2004 (4)

Concern:
Clutch Slave Cylinder

Information:
This is to inform you of a voluntary Workshop Service Action on certain 2004 model year 911 Carrera (996) and 911 Carrera 4 (996) vehicles, equipped with manual transmission (I No. M219 / M220 / M338 / M339). Due to a manufacturing process it is possible that the clutch slave cylinder can experience increased wear as mileage increases on the vehicle. This can lead to leaks and thus to a loss of brake fluid in the clutch slave cylinder. When this causes the brake fluid level to be too low in the fluid reservoir, the warning light is activated in the instrument cluster.

To remedy the situation, the clutch slave cylinder must be removed and replaced with a new slave cylinder. Therefore, we ask that the clutch slave cylinder on the affected vehicles listed below be replaced during the Porsche Owner's next visit to your workshop.

Affected Vehicles:
A total of 101 U.S. and 9 Canadian vehicles fall within the scope of this Service Action.
