APRIL 1 RECALL NOTICE TO BE RELEASED BY PORSCHE SAFETY DEPT.
Porsche will issue a recall notice for most Porsche models. It seems that driving a Porsche might sometimes lead to “excessive driver ego”, which can be dangerous on the road and elsewhere. To resolve the problem, Porsche will install an “ego kill-switch” on all recalled models!
