Anyone heard of the W335 Recall?
My Cayenne S was in the shop recently for a CD Changer installation, and one of things the work order says is that they performed a W335 recall!
Anyone know what this is?

I would try wandering over to the 996 forum and asking user "Loren".
I believe he posted a list of current TSB's for the Cayenne and seems to always have the latest list.

Here's what Loren has posted on renntech.org in the way of Cayenne-related TSB's:

No specific mention of the W335 recall. However, this list is now one month old....... YMMV

I think DAK may have found it... the details of the recall seem to suggest that they have updated two indiciation stickers and something in the "fuse tool".
