997 Gen 2 Recall?

[johnny-b]

Having booked my C2S Cab into main dealer for the "complimentary" winter check and hood reproof I am told of a recall, which the reception girl could not give me any details of, suggesting it was something to do with the hood reproofing. Subsiquent phone call telling me I need two new rear tires and recommending wheel alignment, she also says the High Pressure Pump replacement, which is the recall item, will take allday and car may not be ready for collection tonight! No problem have courtesy car but two quetions:- A, anyone know any details of the recall. B, any recommendations on tires/costs and is it worth paying main Porsche dealer to do alignment?

Call back. The service chap will be able to tell you the details.

Little things like that are fairly common.

No idea what she was on about with the hood reproofing and a recall, but the HPFP recall has been around for a while now.

I had the pump on my 997.2 4S replaced (as part of the campaign) around... erm... June, I think it was, after reading about it here. It was some time over the summer anyway.

I don't have an opinon on your other question, so I'll leave that to others.

Thanks for the replies gents I had not noticed any mention of this recall on here thats why I was asking the question, June you say! maybe they didnt call me in earlier to let me wear the tyres down sufficiently, or am I just cynical.
