Called my dealer. She received the VIN list last week and my 4/16 build is on it. They are asking dealers to order the part and schedule with customers. So, ordering mine today. She said she doesn't know if they have a batch of transmissions in the states or not, but should find out soon.

I assume the replacement is fully covered laborwise?

Has anybody who has had their dealer/SA confirm their VIN checked online to see if it shows up? It still doesn't show up for my VIN online, and I bought my car out of state so I don't expect a call from my local dealer.

Dealer confirmed mine, but it does not come up with a recall in the link. Maybe Porsche is not officially designating this a "recall."

My dealer (Bluegrass Motorsports - Porsche Louisville) is still not aware after providing the Campaign ID. Very frustrating. Recommended I call Porsche for clarification; generic answer. Build 6/2015.

My SA wasnt aware of it either, until I told him it was campaign WJ88.
