WPQ1 - Checking Top Door Hinges (Body Side) and Reworking if Necessary (Workshop
Campaign)
Model Line:
911 (992)
Model Year:

Concerns:
Top door hinge (on body side)
Cause:
Due to a supplier error, there is the possibility that door hinges (on the body side) with a
reduced bore depth for receiving the door hinges (on the door side) have been installed at the
top of the affected vehicles.
This can lead to incorrect gap dimensions between the door and the vehicle body.
Action:
Check the top door hinges (body side) at the left and right and rework them if necessary.
