Dermot Posted November 17, 2021 Report Share Posted November 17, 2021 Just have just had a call from OPC Swindon. My 981 booking for the recall work was booked for 2/3 Dec, it has now been cancelled as they have not had delivery of the necessary parts from Porsche. At present they have no ETA but are hoping for 3-4 weeks. I have been provisionally rescheduled for the 22/23 Dec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz05 Posted November 17, 2021 Report Share Posted November 17, 2021 Not surprised I've been waiting a month for some project parts and I'm booked in for this work in 4 weeks so I guess the same will happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddypaws Posted November 17, 2021 Report Share Posted November 17, 2021 Mine was done at Porsche Leicester on 2/11/21 - the first one they'd done & the parts only arrived the day before. Apparently they were sweating they'd arrive in time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTSMarky Posted November 19, 2021 Report Share Posted November 19, 2021 I'm booked in for 4th Jan.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emil2099 Posted November 20, 2021 Report Share Posted November 20, 2021 Had my car booked in for 111 check to get it on extended warranty. Agreed to deal with the recall at the same time. Booked in around mid-October for last Monday, all done within a couple of days, including a couple of small issues identified through the check. The service adviser mentioned they’ve dealt with a few now and the recall job alone can be done in about a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smartin Posted December 6, 2021 Report Share Posted December 6, 2021 Mine was supposed to have the recall work done this Wednesday but when I called them on Saturday to check all was going ahead and if they could also look at a cooling system fault that popped up a message on Friday afternoon, they told me they wouldn't be doing the recall work as the parts haven't turned up and they didn't know when they would come in 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justchris Posted December 6, 2021 Report Share Posted December 6, 2021 Mine was completed Wednesday / Thursday last week at Colechester. All done, complete with a health check, and wash and a Macan S for 2 days 👍🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smartin Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 Just thought I'd check and see if I'm the only one waiting for the recall work to be done. Maybe time to give OPC/ Porsche GB a nudge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTSMarky Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 Yep, I'm still waiting as my Jan 4th appointment was cancelled as they didn't have the parts & nothing since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz05 Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) I was cancelled in Dec and just been informed parts are in now so booked in during Feb for the day. Hopefully get a good courtesy car, Cayenne is nice but keep getting those a 4.0l GTS would be nice. Edited January 25, 2022 by daz05 .

As my car decided to develop a coolant system fault, they used the time my car had been booked in for to diagnose and fix that, instead. Had a Cayman S for a couple days 🙂 Think you're pushing your luck expecting a 4.0 GTS but we live in hope 😄 Edited January 25, 2022 by smartin typo!

Didn't realise GTS's were part of this, too. Maybe, only the earliest ones. 20 minutes ago, daz05 said: I was cancelled in Dec and just been informed parts are in now so booked in during Feb for the day.

They are probably tackling them based on the order they were first contacted. I left it a few days after receiving the initial recall letter.

Ringer250 Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) Informed by my OPC last week that parts are now available. Car now re-booked in for 14th February.

Dermot Posted February 3, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2022 OPC Swindon completed this yesterday. They loaned my a Panamera 4 for 2 days FOC. A bit of a tank but very comfortable. The work is described as service campaign AMB7, replace axle carrier side section. This link highlights the items replaced, in the article they say these items are $700 a side. The work was completed in a day. https://rennlist.com/forums/981-forum/1268363-recall-for-axle-carrier-2.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
718as Posted February 8, 2022 Report Share Posted February 8, 2022 (edited) hi does the OPC contact you pro-actively or do you need to call them. Just checked my VIN and no recalls came up. Thanks Edited February 8, 2022 by 718as Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just checked my VIN and no recalls came up. Thanks The original UK recall for affected cars was by way of a letter from Porsche GB asking you to contact your local OPC to book the car in. It is not clear if Porsche GB used records from DVLA to ensure all cars were covered regardless of 1st or subsequent owners. Suggest contacting your local OPC to check if your VIN number is in the range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JurassicBGTS Posted March 10, 2022 Report Share Posted March 10, 2022 Mine is in for the recall at present along with the 111 point check. OPC said they are replacing both sides, I thought it was just one side? 2 days now with a base Macan, I would have thought that was sufficient time to do the work🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
