Call PCNA, give them your VIN and ask for all open campaigns

Depends totally on the build date. Porsche made running changes all year as issues emerged. Most of the fixit campaigns were for cars built before April 2012. I believe there were 6 or 7- most minor, requiring a few hours for software updates. A few took longer- the longest being replacement of seals in the front firewall area (a week), the next being replacement of O rings at both ends of the AC lines, next being replacement of 7 electric "changeover valves" with potentially leaky insulation- a day each. I guess if done together it will take less time.

Thanks, the dealer said they are sending it out to body shop to replace body seals. They need to take it apart. Hopefully not anything critical for performance. It's rarely driven in rain so is it worth it?

Apparently water can get behind the front firewall and into audio and other electrical components because of the way the seals were installed. I had no symptoms- but given the box of rubber parts they shipped to the body shop that did mine, yes I think it worth it.
