I got to watch them do this recall on my RS - here are the steps…
1. disassemble the entire rear deck lid (and wing) of the back of the RS - until it looks like this…
2. replace the filler hose "top/oil cap flange" shown here in red outline rectangle - that's the part we are replacing.
3. make sure not to drop the wing or even set it down while you're doing the replacement - lest you may damage the entire rear wing assembly…
4. remember to put all the parts back where you found them…
5. after the vehicle has been reassembled - perform test drive to make sure all is ok!!
6. detail and clean the vehicle and return it with keys to the waiting customer on Friday!!!
7. bill PCNA/PAG for the allowed 1.75 hours of labor - even though the process takes a solid 3.5 hours to do it carefully and with appropriate measures to avoid unnecessary damage - and yes all the parts that were removed were detailed in the procedures for this recall.
big thanks to Steven's creek Porsche which has done an excellent job as my dealer representative for my RS purchase - I should get the car tomorrow!!! I'm so excited.

Can you describe the actual problem? I'm having mine done next week, but I'm going to the track tomorrow (Friday).
And congrats on getting your GT3 RS!!
apparently the defective part can allow the oil cap to be improperly seated allowing leakage - the new part improves the reliability of the oil cap seating correctly to avoid any un-necessary or inadvertent leaks…

Sounds to me you must be in the know or they've filled you in...
Greedy auto manufacturers cutting technicians warranty time in half and then they wonder why there are so many unsatisfied customers. But they don't give a s**t,the auto manufacturer customers are not the end user but the dealers.
It's not enough most dealer technicians are technically challenged and a lot of times clueless,especially when it comes to diagnostics,but let's cut their time in half to make sure they ain't fixing squat!
I feel bad for the end users and for technicians to be honest...
Good for you that you've found a dealer with technicians that didn't care they are actually losing money for this recall...
