Has anyone received a notification (and had remedied) a recall related to heat shields? Somone in the FB group from the UK posted the below. My car has been in the shop for a week getting other things done and I asked about this, receiving the response that there were no outstanding recalls for my car. Today I received a notification from the dealer today that there is an open recall on my vehicle related to hear shields, Curious what other had heard, and opinions in general. Thanks
There's a section on the Porsche web site that allows you to plug in your VIN for recalls.
I did so with mine and showed no recalls, '19 991.2. That is a curious recall, rags in the engine bay. Maybe it indicated an area that should have been shielded but wasn't. Better still, don't drop rags in the engine.
Thanks. I just called my SA and he confirmed there is a recall for my vehicle (after it just spent 10 days there to fix a window switch and other interior plastic). I'd be interested in seeing photos of the new heatshield, and hearing the story behind why this is necessary. Hopefully someone can chime in with those.
Found this thread about this subject in a german Porsche Forum. Just post the link to the picture not the picture since I'm not the owner of the photo:
Bought my Carrera used but registered it with Porsche on their website but did not receive any info on the recall. Am curious as well, if I am effected. From the picture, seems like a pretty big deal.
P.S: Maybe the picture is misleading. In the german thread it says that the whole recall takes only one hour in labor. I'm confused.

Thanks for the info. My German langauge skills are pretty bad, so I appreciate the summary. As for the picture, It looks like you need ot be a member to view it. If you have a moment, could you post it here?
I entered my VIN, 2019 Carerra T, on PCNA website, show no open recalls.
The letter shown in OP post says it is from Porsche Great Britain, maybe not applicable in NA?

Another member posted a link of an email that was received from Porsche Canada. It seems to be coming our way.

Ok, I post the picture here. Hope the owner don't mind. If the owner complains, I'll take it down:
I recently had a fire incident with my previous Targa but from what I understand there have been no findings of foreign objects though. Remember coming across one or two posts like the below when researching would could have gone wrong though. Guessing this is what Porsche are trying to resolve?
