I enjoyed driving the macan loaner. It's nimble but best part was not having to worry about scraping the underside of the front bumper going up/down/over anything.

@ dudecs I do have my receipt for the fix on the shifter which was $995 would I address this with the technician in the service department or with Porsche directly? From what I read online if the issue is directly related Porsche is supposed to reimburse you. Thanks for the good info.

Mine popped up on the site too 2013 Panny 4S. The funny thing is that I had to replace the shifter bushing last year with one from a wrecked Porsche because this recall wasn't on their radar. $1000 and was without my car for a month because it was around Christmas.

I was holding out for a GT3 loaner... no cigar 
, Nice car, the standard 4-cyl won't quite peal the flesh from your face, but very capable. I've driven both the GTS and Turbo versions, much better!

Here in Fort Lauderdale, had this recall done along with the recall before it last Tuesday. In and out, no issues at Champion Porsche. They gave me a Macan base for a loaner, for the record, I like my Panamera a lot better!

Got mine done today - it took just over an hour including an inspection. Car had been in the shop getting repaired from a hail storm last month - $7k including rear trim pieces that got replaced and I could barely see the dents in them.

All worth it if it helps other Porsche Panamera Brothers stay in the drivers seat.

Yes - PDR from a very reputable shop and fortunately my comprehensive policy paid the bill w/o any premium increase to my policy. They also paid to replace 3 pieces of glass at over $2k ea in the past year due to rock hits and a wind storm. Sure glad to finally have my car back in one piece!
