I tried using the Porsche VIN recall lookup tool with your VIN (from the letter): https://recall.porsche.com/prod/pag/...ReadForm&c=usa. Unfortunately it doesn't return an open recalls, so we can't easily check for the same recall for our 992s (yet).

I’ll call the dealer in the morning, get the low down on it. I’m friendly with a Porsche tech at the dealership so will message him to see what’s what.
it doesn’t say “recall”, not something that would make the car undrivable, but interesting to see if it is related to the battery drain or charging issues (not that I’ve had these).

I just had routine service done on my US MY20 4S (6/19 build) and afterwards the dealer asked me to schedule a follow up appointment to perform the grounding bolt repair. He said they need the car for 2 hours (not sure why that long). So it would appear this issue is global and affects multiple model years and 992 variants.
