Cayenne Recalls, new ones?

[Periokid]

My Cayenne was just in for warranty issues and they did a number of recalls which I can't identify.

Can anyone help?

Only one those are a"recall". The rest are all part of a "Workshop Campaign". Recalls are mandatory and workshop campaigns are next service visit upgrades/fixes.

Hi, these are not "new" - but they are both showing up on the Carfax report:

 

Can anyone advise me on recall status. Just purchased a 2004 Cayenne S - love it, it's great. (except for all the problems I'm having..... argghhhh) The Carfax showed 2 recalls - 17V576 and 19V446 - no prob - so I checked vin# on Porsche site and the N.H.T.S.A. - both show 'No open Recalls' So, silly me, I'm trying to determine if they were done/remedied, etc. My local Porsche dealer says they will check them out - but before I bring it in,  how can I tell if recalls were actually done? Any help- please?

Your local dealer should be able to tell from Porsche records if the recalls were done. Recalls are required to be recorded for legal reasons.

Recalls are also VIN specific, so general online data can be misleading.  As Loren noted, check with the dealer.

Thank you - appreciate it - I am in the middle of a move - so the local dealer here will not be much help - I went the VIN specific route and found that the car was clear of any recalls - the CarFax just spooked me a little -  I was just really curious to see which was accurate - and of course, if these 2 recalls were ones I could determine were done or not by looking over the car.  I imagine all Cayenne 04 S owners were aware of these 2 recalls - so just wanted to see if anyone had any "inside scoop or info" on what to look for. 

 

P.S.  I did call the local Porsche dealer and they of course would look at it - but since I have so many other problems, would end up with a gigantic bill -they would look at these 2 recalls - but keep my car for several days/several dollars (oil leaks, error codes, preventive coolant pipe swap-out) just for starters.

 

Thanks for letting me vent a little - I just wish there was a concrete way to look up to see if these were done.  If not, no biggie.

If the dealer said your VIN is clear of recalls, I would go with that.  They have access to the car's history, and Carfax is not known for its accuracy on this issue.
