Default Awesome dealer experience with recalls and more

So I brought my 03 turbo in for what I thought was a handful of recalls that the previous owner never addressed.
Well they punched up a list of 18 campaigns and are taking care of all of them for free! Only a few of them safety related.
Here's the list from the 7 page work invoice:

A306 Seat Frame
Got a new seat frame.

A311 Interior Wiring Harness
Inspected and added a tie wrap.

A401 Certification Label
I think this is a missing tire pressure sticker. Part on back order.

A404 Belt Buckle
Got some new seat belts in the rear.

A506 Seat Belt Shortening
Installed both seat belt retaining brackets.

AH10 Replace Filter Flange of Fuel Pump
New flange.

W309 AC Controller
Got a new AC Control unit thing. Now the clock shows AM/PM instead of just military time!

W312 Instrument Cluster Update Start Engine
Part is on back order. I never posted about this, but once in a while, while driving, the display says "Start Engine" or "Move Gear selector to Park." I never listened.

W313 ATF Thermostat
Got a new transmission t-stat. Topped up fluid.

W315 Transfer Box Servo Motor
Part is on back order. I checked and this is a $600 part!

W316 Seat Rail Cover
Got new seat rail covers.

W318 Parking Brake Release
Got some grease.

W335 Fuse Assignment Plan
Got some missing fuse box stickers.

W401 Mouldings
Got new moldings: 000-043-206-05, 955-555-909-01, 955-559-038-01-4W9 The last part number is the "Cayenne Turbo" lettering on the rear hatch.

W406 Trailer Control Unit
Tech said my unit is ok.

W424 Headlight
Got a headlight retrofit kit 000-043-206-12 and they lubed my plugs.

W516 DME Update
This was a little disappointing... Tech wrote that he tried but his system said "DME couldn't be taught in this vehicle."

W555 Rear Control Unit
Tech said "Rear control unit part # is 7L0 9599 33C already up to date parameters of #3203 entered.

W559 Tip Switch for Rear Window
Got a new tip switch, 955-628-320-04

W725 Side Airbag Wiring Harness Plug Connection
"Modified seat airbag wiring harness."

All that and they went in with a bore scope and looked at my coolant hoses. They were hoses and not pipes but were nice and dry they said.

All for my two favorite letters N/C.

Plus I got to drive a brandy new Macan for 4 days. It even had satellite radio. Pictured below.

Wow, that is very excellent news. Sounds like in another trip or two you will have quite a bit of free recall service done!

I would change the plastic coolant hoses/pipes asap before they leak. Save yourself a BIG headache later and cost of a new starter and transmission seal when they do fail. It's not if, it's when.

Yeah yeah. That’s why I brought it in in the first place. Maybe I’ll do the hose fix along with the valve cover gaskets one day soon. Thanks.

How do you know if your Cayenne has any recalls to have sorted?
