Porsche recalls Carrera, Carrera 4 for tailpipe fix

Porsche announced last week that it will recall more than 2,200 Carrera and Carrera 4 911s because internal testing indicated the tailpipe could crack and detach from the rear muffler on vehicles with more than 25,000 miles.

Affected vehicles include 2012 and 2013 models built between March 7, 2012 and Nov. 12, 2012.

Porsche has not released a time frame for notifying vehicle owners, but promises it will replace the muffler at no cost.
