I an not sure I am reading the recall memo correctly. Does it really say to keep it away from your garage and set it on fire? Or keep it away and it will set itself on fire?
Seriously, was Porsche the first to come out with the self igniting engine in the 2014 GT3? Keep some Smores handy for a quick grab in the cabin. May not be quick enough to get them from the boot.
So drive it to the dealer or is it such a danger that Porsche should come get it with a flatbed?

I was awaiting the pump so I could purchase a used 4S at my P dealer. Recall was completed yesterday and buying the 4S today. 2-3 hours is what my service advisor said as well. He also admitted he just wasn’t sure how long it would take since it was the first of those repairs they had ever done.

My salesman called me yesterday afternoon to let me know that the parts are in for my car. They'll be doing the work today and I'll be able to pick it up next week. Considering @neilontrack and I had our pending sales done quickly, It looks like they're balancing getting CPO pending sales processed at an equal, if not higher priority than owner cars.

Also, this pump is used in more than one places on this engine. That begs the question, if porsche claims that there is a moisture leak into the pump’s “control unit”, they ought to replace all the pumps, not just this particular one that deals with residual heat distribution.

My 2018 ST was supposed to be repaired at the dealership yesterday. It's not done.
I spoke to people three times prior to the car being picked-up...flat-bedded from Eugene, OR to Portland. I was told that there were two-levels of the possible required work on the recall...one was for the parts that they would have on hand, and a more serious circumstance, where parts would have to ordered, requiring a delay. Okay, you can't push the river.
However, each time I spoke with them, I asked specifically about the location of the parts for the more serious repair (which my car requires). I asked simply if those parts were located in the US, or would they have to come from overseas. Each and every time I was told that the parts were located in the US.
Nope.
Not only am I am now in limbo, the dealer claims that they are required to send a photo of the damage to Germany, wait for approval, and then the requisite part(s) are shipped...from Germany. This kind of misinformation (deliberate, or not) is a problem for me.

Dealer won’t take your car if the part is not available. Not sure why you would agree to let them take your car away. I can’t even schedule the service as my dealer has no part available for this recall.

Anyway, the amount of crap surrounding this recall scares me.....guess I'll wait till a dealer shows me the parts on his countertop.....hoping my house doesn't burn down in the meantime.....as extended overnight street parking often leads to "cat-delete"
