Looks like mine was 05/2010 so was early production. When I spoke with representative from Porsche NA she checked and explained my VIN might have had different parts that were not affected by the recall she says. The other thing might be that the recall was done. All campaigns were done per Dealer. They suggested if I encounter any symptoms like CEL etc... to take to dealer.

Lots of interesting reading at: https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle/2011/P...UV/AWD#recalls
Also - one other item quite common on 2011 model year turbo - excessive oil consumption (more than 1 liter in 1,000 miles is considered excessive, but really - one that is working correctly can go 5000 miles before needing a liter of oil..) See: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/20...51876-9608.pdf
Mine had this problem under the first owner. They added a liter of oil every 500 miles until the oil/air separator was replaced. Consumption immediately dropped to 1 liter/5,000 miles. Note that the excessive oil use can cause carbon to build up on the intake valves, causing poor running.
And if you have time and are bored - here are all the issues/communications/investigations for the 2011 Turbo: https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle/2011/P...Communications (10 pages..)

A second check: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/201...7V368-6172.PDF <- lists the VIN#'s it covered.. which appear to be for the Turbo:
Vehicle #12 doesn't make a lot of sense.. especially since it was in the VIN# range for Vehicle #11.

Yup, dealer who serviced it last printed this out for me. I missed it the first time when I was browsing the records. Good to know it was handled. Thanks!
