Default 993 wiring harness recall

I've been reading about this recaal on the forum, would anyone be so kind as to tell me what it is about and when the recall was originally issued ?

Thanks,

Peter R.

Check in with your dealer and they can tell you all about it as well as whether it's been done on your car. (Dealers have a database of warrantee work done on all vehicles, no matter what dealership did it.)

Peter,

It was a while ago, was global and replaced the engine wiring loom. From memory only a few hours work. Any dealer can look up and tell you it's been done on your car once they have your VIN.

Cheers,

David

Can't you also call PCNA and get this info? I called them and was told the only recall on my car was the Cab latches but that it had already been done.

Yup, 1-800-PORSCHE and provide them your VIN.

Serach is your friend here. Lots of info.... like this:
https://rennlist.com/forums/showthre...ferrerid=35947
And check this site for specifics: http://members.rennlist.com/pcaracin...gharness5.html

Also, if you have CarFax currently active, it sometimes confirms the recall was done. Often it leaves it unanswered.
I have an active CarFax subscription for another week... if you PM me your VIN I will check and see if it shows up. Can't send the whole report... that's not cool.
Or, if you don't have a carfax pulled for your car it is nice to have in your records... only about $20.

Right, contacted the dealer, who logged on to the factory database, no outstanding issues for an outstanding car.

A beer is in order !
