Has anyone else received the letter recalling their 997.2 GT3 for another CL campaign ?

Last time it was the nuts that were swapped with revised torque settings , this time all the rear hubs and bearings are to be replaced ! .

Looking at the Renlist site this only appears to apply to the early cars from autumn 2009 through to spring 2010.

I guess its better than having a wheel fall off but its a pain having to keep taking it back .

Does this apply to the RS as well?

Not sure but according to guys on Renlist it would appear not as the RS were later build .
That said maybe they will work through them in build date order ?

The recall letter also implies that at 8400 mles ( and given the gibberish that the first page is written in ) the front hubs and bearings are needed too - or is that just for pure racing versions - its not clear.
Sounds as though the whole CL thing is not fit for purpose - my lock bolts were replaced once and the hubs looked at then and told they were ok as part of the first recall - add the clutch sensor and software recall / update -good going for just under 3 years and 4000 miles.
