i just got my S few days ago. How would I know in case if mine would be recalled? I mean in cases like this, would the dealer contact me? Or should I first find the problem and then tell them about it?>

Gert

I got my recall letter in the mail this morning.
Anyone else?

Matt C

Nope, nothing from Porsche in the mailbox.
Which recall - transfer case or wiring - is the letter refering to?

Thanks ngfan!

I have contacted my dealer who hasn't heard anything yet and is now contacting the importer ....

Ditto for PCNA. I called the 800 number at 0705A CST this morning (02/27/04). The customer service agent was very nice, but PCNA has no record of the recalls in their systems yet. Their advice...... call your local dealer. I have a call into Park Place right now.......

It was announced on our local (German speaking) news this morning and on CNN International. Over 22,000 Cayennes worldwide are being recalled.
Ciao,

Now that I think of it, the last time the Cayenne was in for service (Cardan shaft replacement), I was talking to one of the service techs in the shop and he told me he has to install a new wiring harness in a 3 month old Cayenne. He wasn't looking forward to that job....and neither was the owner.
I emailed my Porsche dealer, they have heard nothing yet as well.

What is transfer case, and where it located?

OK, make it 4 recalls
