Last time I visited my dealer, they replaced the two black plastic trim pieces on the edges of the body- under the raised spoiler. I had no symptoms, but apparently some were loose and rattled.

Is that the one?

No. What's the reason for the recall?

Just ask him what the reason for the recall is. Don't mention me.
Thanks
So lets all randomly call "Drew" (who doesn't know any of us from Adam) and ask him about a supposed recall that we read about on the internet.

It falls off after 4 hours?

Didn't this issue come up in spring 2013, I tried to get Porsche to credit me the replacement spoiler cost against the ducktail I bought. OMG you would of thought I was trying to rob a homeless person begging at an intersection!!

Seeing the spoiler is a rather important component in the stability of this car, they would have to be certifiably insane to keep a complete rear spoiler replacement / recall under wraps and only divulged to a select few SA's.
If this recall is in fact true, the NHTSA would already be all over it.

Anyone remember the debacle in 2000 with the Audi TT spoiler

I called my SA yesterday, and my early April 2012 did not have any open campaigns. Chuck above and other posts have discussed the "spoiler" fix, and it is not the spoiler at all. It is two black pieces of plastic under the spoiler that supposedly might rattle.

And I am pretty sure Chuck had something else in mind with the 4 hour reference...

Ok, you got me..

I was seriously thinking of why it would be bad to keep it (the spoiler up) for more than 4 hours..

I mean... I often just leave mine up for days.. then it hit me...
