Glad I have a late model 2012. Hopefully, it isn't affected.

According to my Service Adviser in Dallas:

The NHTSA has it listed on their website that Porsche notified them of their intent to recall the cars, it is not actually a recall yet. Porsche just this morning posted that they will be sending letters to owners of the affected vehicles starting 3.2.12. The post also stated that the scheduled launch date for the campaign is to be 3.5.12, subject to sufficient parts availability. I will keep trying and see if 2012 CTT is on the list.

Mine was in for other service and they found the recall... Bad news is that parts are on national back order until the end of April.

My headlights are covered in clear shield. They better just not replace without telling me first and when they do they better reinstall the clear shield on my lights as is currently on.

Headlights don't get replace a part is just added. Weird about the back order. I took it in Thursday and it was done Friday. They didn't even know i needed it until I came and ran my VIN.

Wish Porsche had a site where we could put in our VIN to see if we are affected.

What exactly does this mod entail? Do they have to remove and re aim the entire headlight assembly? Or, just do something inside the engine bay?

I'm not too keen on this, makes me nervous.

I too got the notice in the mail yesterday.

Once I see what it involves, I will decide if I have it done or not.
