SINCE THIS RECALL WAS INITIATED IN 2017, THERE HAS BEEN NO UPDATE OR TIMELINE FOR EXPECTED REMEDY TO THIS CAMPAIGN. (AH10). PORSCHE DEALER HAS NO INFORMATION OR ETA FOR REPAIR YET AND IT'S BEEN 6 MONTHS! NOW ALMOST APRIL 2018.

PORSCHE ANNOUNCED THEIR "CAMPAIGN" (RECALL) ON NOVEMBER 14, 2017. I HAVE CALLED SEVERAL PORSCHE DEALERS SINCE THAT TIME, AND THE PARTS FOR THIS RECALL ARE NOT AVAILABLE. ONE DEALER SAYS IT COULD BE "ANOTHER COUPLE OF MONTHS" BEFORE THE PART IS AVAILABLE. THE AH10 CAMPAIGN SAYS THAT THIS SITUATION CAN CAUSE A FIRE! IS THIS WHAT PORSCHE IS WAITING FOR? SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO GET THEM TO PRODUCE THE PARTS NECESSARY TO PREVENT SIGNIFICANT INJURY OR DEATH.

THERE IS AN OPEN RECALL (NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 17V-576) FOR THE FUEL FLANGE ON MY VEHICLE. I PREVIOUSLY PAID OUT OF POCKET FOR THIS REPAIR AND CONTACTED BOTH MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THE CORPORATE CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR INFORMATION ABOUT BEING REIMBURSED AND WAS TOLD THEY NOTIFY ME ABOUT REIMBURSEMENT. I PAID $1995 AND NO ONE WANTS TO DISCUSS REPAYMENT WITH ME. HOW DO I RECOUP MY OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE FOR THIS MANUFACTURERS DEFECT? I HAVE ALL RECEIPTS FOR THIS REPAIR.

CAR WAS BOUGHT AS CERTIFIED PORSCHE IN MAR 2011 WITH 66K MILES; CURRENT MILES 165K MILES; DRIVEN APPROX. FOR 100K MILES IN 6 YEARS. ENGINE CLICKING NOISE WAS GETTING LOUDER AND LOUDER. TOLD BY MECHANICS THAT THE "F" CYN. WALLS ARE SCORED AND ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACE. CHECKED ON-LINE FOR THIS CONDITION WITH OTHER V-8 PORSCHE OWNERS TO FIND THAT IT'S VERY COMMON. THIS SEEMS LIKE A DESIGN ISSUE AND SAFETY WISE ( NO POWER, MISS FIRING AND STALLING). A $100K NEW SHOULD NOT HAVE A V-8 ENGINE THAT HAS A DESIGN DEFECT THAT IS WORTH LESS AT SUCH LOW MILES.
