For what its worth, I was told I do not have a TSB on my car, they checked to be sure, it was the same tech and, same day of service.

I just called my local dealer. They ran my VIN and said no open campaigns or recalls. MY2015.

This is a bit strange. I reported a while ago that I received a card in the mail with a notice saying my car may have updates pending. It also shows my VIN number. I've called my dealer and another close by dealer and they both ran my VIN # and said there is no updates showing in their system. Very strange I received this letter.

You need to know the date and time the letter was stamped. It is very time specific and only relates to certain letters.

Perhaps they are staging which VINs they accept into the campaign to prevent a run on the dealers?

This is my guess too. The parts need to be available. I assume we will all eventually get the "fix"

Got a call today that my service people are waiting for parts and instructions but recall may be system wide. At least it is at the end of track season in the PNW.

I haven't done plugs/packs on my GT3RS yet, but am encouraged that it is only a 2 hr job. On my 996TT, it was more like 4 hours. The rear bumper had to come off, and the intercoolers had to come off, and it was all a bit easier if you lowered the engine a few inches. Some claimed that with the right combo of swivels, you could do it without such disassembly, but a.) I didn't have a lift so space was tighter, b.) I was always afraid of cross-threading a plug if it was attached to too many swivels.


Two hours sounds like a breeze

Did they say what parts they're waiting for? I have few theories as to what may be afoot...

seapar

Answered the phone in between calls so I didn't ask for details. Sorry

Jamie_GT3

No problem, we'll know soon enough...

Mr. Adair

Gent's,

I received a proactive phone call yesterday from my service manager on this recall in which he stated my VIN# was not affected. I have a late '14 or early '15 build date. I will see if I can get additional info on what was the determining factor on why only certain VIN's are effected…

Here is his response for what's it's worth..

It’s all based on production time and parts that were used at that time. Usually it’s a bad batch of parts they received during the production.

2015 with a November delivery date here. I texted my SA yesterday. He looked up my VIN and didn't find a recall....yet. I agree that this will probably affect all of us at some point.

I just called my service rep. My car was built late Oct. 2015. No service campaign shown in Porsche's records for my car. I have to assume that it must a campign limited to a series of affected cars and if more widespread that it will the staged sequentially.

just heard that my 15 (Jan build) is not covered. This recall apparently covers 334 GT3's and RS's worldwide.
