Interestingly (or not...) I brought my car in to pick up a part on warranty, and they noted this recall for it even though that VIN-checker link someone posted did not show it. Took about an hour+.

The cover on my rear-window wiper blade flew off in the wind on an expressway last weekend, and I'm going in this week for a replacement cover (under warranty).

In my case it was the luggage compartment retractable cover. I tried to remove it the day I got the car and it was clear that the latch mechanism to do so was broken because it wouldn't give. I didn't want to force it. Local dealer tried, forced it, and broke it trying to remove it. I didn't really even want the replacement as I will never ever use it (crowds my dog...) but they convinced me since it'd be a warranty replacement. Now it's just in my closet
BTW have you had issues with your fuel door latch? I recall reading either here or in the Cayenne subforum that that was "a thing" but that it'd been addressed. Mine sticks when I try to open it, and today it wouldn't re-latch until the third press down. Maybe I'm doing it wrong!

Numerous people have commented on problems with the fuel door (and the electric-charge port door in the E-Hybrids). I've not had problems with the fuel door, but my charge-port door is a little finicky -- nothing where I've had to had a fix done, however. Granted, I use the charge-port door at least twice a day (often several times a day), whereas I generally only use the fuel-port door once every 3-5 weeks, so the fuel door on my car doesn't get a lot of use.
One thing I did notice is that my fuel port did not allow me to put more than a few drops of gas in the tank if I didn't start filling quickly enough; I learned this when I was travelling last summer, in which I didn't find my credit card quickly enough and then wondered why the gas-station fuel pump stopped almost as soon as it started, when my Panamera's gas tank was nearly empty. This happened at several stops, and always when I delayed in putting gas in by a minute or more after pushing the door-unlock button. I've not heard anybody else confirm this apparent quirk in my car. The problem was solved each time by pushing the gas-door unlock button again and then starting to fill quickly.
... it's like there's a lock that prevents gas from going into the car if you wait too long to start filling...

Yeah, I was afraid that I'd break the retractable cover in the rear also, the first time I removed it. It's not a good design. But I learned just the right amount of force to pull that lever up on the right without breaking it. :-)
