NHTSA launches investigations into Ford Crown Victoria police cars, Dodge Viper and Porsche 911

http://www.autoblog.com/2013/05/01/n...ria-police-ca/
"Meanwhile, 10,000 Porsche 911 sports cars are under investigation for a faulty cooling hose fitting. The loose hose could cause a rapid loss of coolant that could not only damage the engine, but cause a slick road surface that could pose a danger to other traffic. The investigation is only concerned with models equipped with 2001-2007 models. There have been 10 owner complaints of failures, with one owner saying the coolant caused him to loose control and spin the vehicle off of the road."
Anyone here have details on this? Seems that it covers 996 and 997.1 (m96 engines?) models.
