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

Can anyone help?

W559
A506
W401
W522
W540
W555

Thanks

Have you thought about looking at the paperwork for an explanation or just calling your SA to have him explain it? That would have been my first course of action.

Paperwork says nothing and I don't trust the SA. I am about to have a bit of an argument with the dealer and I want some info first.

Holy crap.....that is a bad position to be in! Are there any other dealers that you can use that are relatively close to you? I am sure they would love to get your business as well as hear about how bad the competition is.

BTW, if you are a contributing member over at Renntech.org, you have access to TSB's.

This is no biggy, you should have an answer to most of this shortly

I am a contributing member to renntech but non of these are listed in the TSBs.

FYI there are some word issues also here.

Recall does not always = TSB,

Recall can mean "Service Action" --In other words after sales have some stuff waiting for the next time your VIN hits a dealer, non urgent mostly QA stuff.

A recall in the correct sense is the "bring it in quick its about to explode" recall that Ford made famous.

I have had all of these on my 04 CTT. The only thing to watch out for is the Comfort Control Unit update - hopefully they were very careful to match the software with the hardware. There are a number of different versions of CCU hardware and software out there. My dealer didn't get them right during a couple of iterations. (FYI in these types of systems the software is very specific to the hardware so even a trivial difference in hardware can change the behavior of the software and send the system off into the weeds.) Finally my dealer upgraded both the hardware and the software to the latest versions and all the nagging, strange behaviors disappeared.

Thanks for all the information!!

Michael,

Would you have more detail on W401 - Logo Trim Replace? I have both Renntech and alldata and that doesn't show up.

I suppose searching for "W401" in the Cayenne forum was out of the question?

Oh, wait, I know, it's an "ltc" post, so those are automatically deleted.
Never mind, it's just another old timer put out to pasture post; I'm sure the new kids are on top of things

WD40 or W401? I'm still proposing a RTFOT (read the freakin old thread) icon.. where's our moderator when we need him to get us "old timers" a proper icon!
Now, now, fellow "old timer"... we're not deleted we're just ignored!
Yeah right... to read old threads with the same questions is so "old school"!!!
