Does the brake recall include a fluid flush/replacement?

[Redhot2474]

I ask because my 20K service is coming up at some point, of which the only really important bit is the fluid flush (IMO.)

I'm thinking I could reduce the 20K service cost if it's in close enough proximity to the recall work. Or just skip the 20K entirely, as I'm perfectly capable of swapping wiper blades and pollen filter.

Have u received anything In mail yet regarding recall?

Nope. I just checked their recall site.

Quick followup after checking with my dealer yesterday on the recall vs 20,000 mile service. They claim that the flush due to the brake line replacement is only for the front and that the rest of the system still needs to be done. Claim that the savings will only be around $150.00 or so.
Once EV adoption accelerates again dealers will be faced with service work reductions compared to ICE.
Seems like B.S. to me.

USA guys, relax . . .

It is inconceivable to me that opening the brake system to replace hoses does not require a brake flush. Yes, it would be possible to just bleed them, but the effort and cost is nearly identical. Or are we saying that removing/replacing 2 additional wheels/opening 2 additional nipples takes more than 10-15min?

My servicing expenses over 1.5 years/24k miles amount to 0. Non-service repairs were 1 windshield chip filled at ~$150.

Just went in for two year service and asked if the recall includes complete brake fluid flush and refill.

Porsche China says yes it does and will do the brake fluid with the recall next month.

I guess the answer you'll get about a fluid change question will depend rather a lot on why they think you're asking it....

I just got my brake recall notification letter which says wait for follow up communication from Porsche before contacting dealer.

I am in Australia, and just had the brake hose replaced. They did a full flush and also had a software update. "WPK0 - Re-programming PSM Controller: Optimized Software update for Porsche stability Management control Unit. This Update optimizes the brake pedal feel on recuperative and hydraulic braking"

Feels like a new car now, the braking is so much better.

Just driven the car after brakes recall. WTF? I don't know If slowly I got used to the brake pedal feel but now I realised how bad it was!
It is now as I would expect off any Porsche. Solid feel, powerful and not noisy.
On a side note, the replacement car (while the Taycan was at the garage) was a nice brand new Macan GTS. What a nice Toy I thought! I have enjoyed the noise, the drive, the gearbox, the comfort to the point I told my wife to drive it back to the dealer to collect our Taycan.
When Back home I have asked my Wife what she thought about the Macan Gts and she said: It's clearly the poor sibling of the Taycan. I couldn't wait to get back in our Cross Turismo.

When I had a Macan GTS loaner, I thought exactly the same!

Porsche Reading said a full fluid replacement is not in the recall, but charged me for just the fluid to do it during the work. Mine was trailered in as I had a "replace brake fluid" message come up on my PCM and Porsche Assistance panicked I think and got AA to come pick it up. So it's been done and I'm due to pick up today.

Had a nice Porsche Mobility loaner from Enterprise - a BMW 330e. Nice motor, but the new iDrive screens and interface is absolutely appalling and left me very much wanting my Taycan back

My car is due for the 2 year brake fluid flush too. The dealer told me that for the brake hose recall they only work on the front brakes. The rear brakes are not touched and I would have to pay for the rear flush. I usually do this my self. When my Cayenne was on the Porsche Maintenance plan I saw the tech only bled one side of the caliper not both sides. Bleeding the inner portion of the caliper would have required removing the wheel. Another reason I do my own servicing.

As most of you know I got my car back a couple of days ago after nearly 3 months. They initially told me all recalls had been done so I asked them to reset the service interval (new battery and associated coolant plus brake flush and multipoint had been done, I assumed).
They then clarified and told me the parts had changed for the brake lines (they did tell me it was because I had CCB's) but then told me there was a automatic ride recall too and that they had to be done together.
Here's the message (cut and paste):
As your car has been here, the recall scope for the brake lines has updated (ARB0). Your technician did inspect the brake lines, however, the necessary parts have changed and are currently on backorder. All the original brake lines are still installed, secure and showing no signs of defect at this time. We had sent in the release request to Porsche which has been approved, however, the parts are now on backorder. The campaign WPK0 is to be done in conjunction with ARB0 so as soon as the parts arrive, we can get you back in to get those done.

@SergeyIndy This is what I mentioned to you over lunch

I’d find a new dealer for that work!
