After getting my letter from POA, I reached out to Porsche of The Mainline here in PA and arranged to drop the car off this morning. I absolutely love the service that these folks give me anytime I bring the car in which is why I go 1 hour outside of my area to have the car in their hands.

The loaner is a 2018 Macan...Blue on tan...yea I'm not feeling the non-turbo version at all.

So they have the recall parts?

Paul Miller in NJ still is unaware of the parts etc?

Yes sir, they have been for a couple of weeks. It just took me time to get it scheduled.

It takes about 2 days total but they plan for 3. Either way I'm glad they are stepping up to do it for us.

The camshaft bolt recall affects the earlier model years (2010-2012).

Those are not related, you likely have a separate transmission issue.
