Have you ever seen the movie "Class Action"? The plot is a suit against a car manufacturer for a defect that makes the car unsafe. The lawyer representing the car company discovers the flaw is real for a percentage of the run, but it was determined that the cost of a lawsuit and potential settlement was less than the expense of fixing the issue, so they didn't bother.
Porsche didn't fix the defect because it was more expensive than simply replacing the engines that fail within the warranty period, even at $15k a pop for engine and labor.
