Battery Recall Completed in SoCal - Who ?

[CaliPorsche]

I got an update this AM from the advisor they still expect mine back I the shop by end of Dec. We'll see.

@Spyerx .. When exactly did you drop the car?

Mine was dropped off at palm Springs on November 18th (I chose that location instead of Irvine even tho i live in CDM) - they are completing OPEN RECALLS: Apb6 / ara4 / arb0 / wpl8 / wre1 / wrj5 ... so far they have said I will get it back before end of December ... but I have not chased them for details..... I am also racking up the miles on a 25 loaner .....

Hilarious... Too bad the Irvine GM isn't reading these threads... I'm in Laguna and had car flat bedded to Long Beach.

It was picked up Nov 7, after they confirmed receiving the crate.

Seems we are tracking similar...

Mine is: ARA4, Cell Block HVB (for APB5, ARA4, ARA5), WRE1 (replace 1 module)

I'd had all other recalls performed prior.

Update:

My car is being delivered today, it's back/done. Open recall is ARB7 (the new one). The dealers don't have any remediation yet for that one as noted in the letters we received.

Nov 7 - Dec 16, what is that about 5 weeks?

Better than expected.

Fully charged it yesterday ... mileage seems same. Range/efficiency seems same. And it didn't blow up. No rattles or other issues. We'll call it a win. For now until the next recall.

FWIW, the range on the 2025 is a material increase... on my car vs the loaner about 1mi/kwh (ie 325 miles vs 225 miles) in real use.

I don't really miss it as I don't drive too far in this car. Why I do miss is the ability to put the battery state on the left side tube on the dash... and to set the charge limit globally vs using profiles/timers.

I should be getting mine back today (1/9) or tomorrow; the battery was installed yesterday and they took it for a "calibration drive" (with my permission) of around 100 miles. Seems the turnaround was a bit longer than 6-8 weeks quoted to me but Thanksgiving and Christmas are in that time window so I can't be too critical of the time taken.
