My bad, sorry and yes, it is not a recall. But no, I would venture to say that there is no list or site that tracks extended warranties, but I could be wrong. My guess is that each manufacturer tracks that.

I just received the letter from PCNA for the extended warranty on the active engine mounts.
On a separate note, I did experience the low end (1500-2000) PADM rattle in my car pretty persistently in my car but never cared to take it in since it was a known issue.
I recently took my 22 GTS in for a leaky fuel line, which there is another thread here on Rennlist about, and part of the repairs required dropping the engine.
After getting my car back from the dealer (which they were able to complete in 5 days) the rattle has gotten significantly better and is almost completely gone.
I don't think dropping the engine is a good remedy for this rattle but I'm guessing the process of putting the engine back in and retorquing everything back to spec probably helped the rattle quite a bit.

Good thought. I already decided that unless Porsche produces a new part that actually works, it wasn’t worth dropping the engine just to try the latest revision which doesn’t seem to solve it anyway. So again, I don’t know what this warranty extension is for, extending the period of coverage for a fix they aren’t producing anyway?

We need to get the complaints of actual occurrences reported so a recall or at least a bulletin is issued by Porsche. It'll help those of us out of warranty if a recall is triggered. Thank you and sorry for going off topic
