- Radiator / Condenser CorrosionModerate
Front intakes collect leaves and road salt, rotting the cooling components.
- IMS Bearing (987.1)Serious
The intermediate shaft bearing on early 987.1 models (2005-2008) shares the same risk as the 996/997.1. The 987.2 (2009+) eliminated the IMS bearing entirely.
