[Tooney]

Cause: Customers complained about creaking noises when opening and locking the rear left and/or
rear right door. Relative movements between the shaft reinforcement and the lock reinforcement within the door frame may cause intermittent creaking noises.

Action: In the event of a complaint, rework rear left and/or rear right door by placing an additional rivet.

Apparently you did not read this article dated June 27, 2024:
J.D. Power quality study: Porsche is the top-ranked premium brand

The quality study by the US market research institute J.D. Power evaluates the quality of new cars in the USA with the help of customer surveys. After a strong second place in 2023, Porsche has now been voted at the top of the ranking.

"We are very pleased with the top ranking in the quality study and the positive feedback from our customers," says Christian Friedl, Vice President of Corporate Quality at Porsche. "This success is based on a team effort by the entire Porsche team. We are very proud of that."

Quality is teamwork
Christian Friedl: "The ultimate goal of quality work at Porsche is an all-round satisfied customer. We achieve this goal with high-quality products, the best service, and the commitment of every single Porsche employee." The basis for this is a decentralized quality strategy. In this context, the Corporate Quality Department works intensively with other departments. This promotes a common understanding across the different business areas and puts the customer even more in focus. With success, as the result at J.D. Power shows.

Oh for fuck’s sake.

Waiting any day now for the bulletin on the steering wheel coming loose at speed.

I don't get you point guys...We're lucky enough (or doomed for some apparently) to gain access to those TSBs that are recurrent testimony of how Porsche cares about our cars...
Porsche has issued over 3000 TSBs over the last 10 years... They are supposed to be internal material not released to the public. Do you really think such is different from others ?
All manufacturers have the same type of after sales quality assurance process... As engineer myself I do appreciate this source of information for my own awareness. But if you should be worried or desperate about these, please avoid them.

I've been noticing similar noises recently, but TBH, I think they're coming more from the driver.

I thought Porsches aren't supposed to have rear doors

That’s just the pure ones. Where would Porsche be now without the SUV collaborations since 2010?
