Anyone get a Porsche Safety recall notice?

Just a thought… Do Porsche dealers get paid for doing the updates? I’m guessing yes. OTA takes the dealer out of the equation which is not the traditional dealer model.

all warranty works (and recalls) is "reimbursed" but the rate is very very favorable to PCNA and in speaking with dealers it's well well below market - they also only allow billing of the "official" labor-unit time periods - regardless of how long it actually takes

I had a recall for my 2023 911 GT3 that was a PDI issue - dealer got reimbursed the "standard" amount - 12 time units according to the "procedures" - but my vehicle actually took over 60 time units, but dealer had to eat that difference since you can only bill the approved factory time for _ANY_ warranty/recall work…

so yeah - they get reimbursed, but I'm told it's not reflective of actual business costs.

The trip is a real time killer for me, and it sounds like for you as well. Last visit to the dealer for scheduled wheel change and software update had us sitting in the dealership for 3+ hours, not counting 3 hour round trip drive. OTA would really be nice now that winter weather has arrived with it's inevitable salt and salt substitute road gack.

@daveo4EV Do you know what a "time unit" is? Is it one minute, or five, or something else?

I'm asking because I looked at the Porsche Dashcam installation document and it refers to time units, but I didn't get a good sense of how time-consuming the installation actually is.
