Re: brake recall - specifics
sorry guys for some reason unknown to the computer almost literate the scan is not up-loading. heres what i found out;it's technical information bulletin w622 ( workshop campaign ) dated 9-21-06
it affects both iron and pccb cars # 102- 787 the scope of the repairs are;
scope 1- iron brakes rear axle- replace brake calipers.
scope 2- iron brakes rear axle- replace brake piston damping plates and brake pads
scope 3- pccb, retrofit brake piston damping plates on the front axle and replace brake pads, replace brake calipers on the rear axle
scope 4- pccb, same as above on both axles but no caliper relacement on either axle.
scope 5- pccb, same as 3 but no caliper replacement.
it indicates that the purpose of the re-call is to deal with the issue of clearly audible squealing noise coming from front and or rear axles when braking in certain enviornmental conditions.
hope this helps some

mike,
interesting, i'm also debating as to whether or not to have this done... at this point it's basically a non-event to me in terms of annoyance..... i'm also of the opinion that if it's not broke don't [beep] with it....i'd be seriously pissed at my self if it came back from the fix and didn't feel EXACTLY the same as when i brought it in....perhaps others in the same quandry will have thoughts....i guess today i wouldn't get it done....the dealership here has one porsche certified mechanic...gulp

roadtrip,
Are you going to have your 997TT brakes corrected? Anyone else with a 997TT that fits within the VIN numbers? I'm debating on mine.
Mike
I cannot believe you posted this. There is a recall on your brakes and you are debating whether to take your car in?

Believe it. Don't consider a slightly squeaky brake a big issue. I have over 1000 miles and have only heard it 3 times under very slight braking.
Mike
Mike if it was an unimportant or trivial issue, Porsche would not be recalling the car for brakes.
Be smart and take your car in.
Re: brake recall - specifics
I don't think it's a big issue. Porsche has rec'd complaints and they are responding in proper fashion by not ignoring this. If this gets worse or it becomes convenient for me I'll certainly consider.
smiley has a different condition and should get this corrected.

Re: brake recall - specifics
Just to make something clear: this is NO RECALL but a VOLUNTARY Workshop Campaign. There seems no safety risk to be involved and this campaign is only intended for a certain number of cars with a specific VIN number.
Although the affected VIN numbers are contained in a certain VIN range (83102 to 83787), this doesn't mean that all cars in this VIN range are affected.
My car is also within this VIN number range and is NOT affected (well, there is a squealing noise coming from the PCCB brake system but apparently it isn't strong enough to make my car a case for this campaign).
