TO2 Campaign

The DOM of my car is December 20, 1990, which means it's a relatively early M Series car. As a result it shared one of the big problems with the L Series - the lack of head gaskets that caused bad oil leaks. As you know, Porsche's remedy was to practically rebuild the engines.
My car doesn't leak oil (I haven't had too many P-cars that I could say that about!). There's an entry in the service booklet dated July 11, 1997 with the designation "TO2 Campaign" written in. I'm wondering if that was what Porsche called the recall effort. I've searched here and elsewhere on the Web and haven't been able to find any references for TO2.
Thanks,
JohnA

All that I could find is that it is T "zero"2 = T02.
One file indicates that it was a "steering shaft recall".

I went to my local dealership and gave them my VIN number. They entered it into the computer and printed out all the info about my car including the status of any recall notices. Is worth giving your local stealer a call and see if they can do the same.

I did find a reference for T-Zero-2 and it is for a steering column replacement. Does anyone have the code for the work that was done to remedy the head gasket problem?
Happy Thanksgiving to those in the U.S.!

I was surprised to see this on the cylinder head TSB that Joey posted:
"When repairing oil leaks from the cylinder to cylinder head sealing area on engines prior to the above engine numbers, all cylinders and pistons should be replaced and all cylinder head sealing surfaces refaced. Cylinder head nuts are
reusable"
There's no record of that being done on my '90 and I've no recalls outstanding so I guess they decided it was too expensive for a recall and left us to live with the drips. My small top end rebuild bill shows the garage putting on cylinder head gaskets but no mention of changing the cylinders and pistons!
