I got the rear camera recall notice in the mail today.
Has anyone had this work performed?
I'm almost afraid to mess with things as I don't have much problem with it.

Had this done on mine too as some others have; as they earlier shared, they had neither rear camera distortion problems before ASA3 was done, nor did they (nor I) notice any rear vision improvement after it was done.

Must have been a bunch of new notices sent out. I thought I had escaped but my mailbox had a notice today. Last I checked a month or two ago, my VIN was not on the list. It is today. .

yeah like TMRQS said, there's several threads on this already. It only took a couple hours. and there was no discernable difference in the camera quality...
however, i see the parking assist option now, when i hadn't before.

It's great to hear the rear view camera recall is going well for so many. Sadly my dealership can't seem to manage what just about every other dealership can! I'm now at the 6 week stage without the vehicle, and if sales are to be believed, which is becoming increasingly more difficult, there's no eta on when they can release the car. Apparently, ALL the cameras have been replaced, the vehicle then wouldn't accept the software update, Porsche Germany engaged to diagnose the update issue and now the replaced rear view camera is defective and another is needed! As this is an 'old' unsold 2024, the stop sale is enforced at the PDI stage rather than at the port for new arrivals. In the past 6 weeks, sales have managed to undo 3 years of amazing customer service that Taycan ownership brought!
My advice xrtdr, perhaps a quick call to service to check they have the parts needed before you book it in. Their ability to lay their hands on another if needed probably wouldn't go amiss either!

I have a recall notice coming in the mail as well.

I am signed up for the USPS Informed Delivery service, so I get emailed a scan of all physical mail coming to my home when it hits the USPS system. This morning's Informed Delivery email includes a recall notice from Porsche.

Sorry yours is taking so long. Had my camera recall (software only) done a week ago along with the big software update. Seems to have gone smoothly as I got it back the same day. Rear camera appears to be a smidge better but could just me being hopeful :)

Got my recall notice. My El Paso dealer says the software update will take a day or two which is hard to believe. Having it done next week, will let you know. (Not sure about needing a new camera thread that I read here.)
