Porsche service campaign WST8
What it saysPorsche intranet posting with information on WST8 - Workshop Campaign – Reworking Rear Lid NHTSA’s full summary ↓
Porsche filed this with NHTSA as a service campaign dated Feb 4, 2026, received Mar 2, 2026, about the structure — 2 documents under this number: No. WST8 and 1 more. It names 2 model years (2025–2026). A service campaign is not a safety recall — there is no NHTSA campaign number and no federal requirement — but it is usually work the manufacturer pays for on the vehicles it names; the dealer checks the VIN against the manufacturer’s list.

One communication is usually filed as several documents — the bulletin, a dealer notice, an owner letter — and the number on any of them finds this page. A PDF link is shown only once NHTSA’s own server has been seen to serve that document; the rest are checked over the following nights. Quote the number at a service desk; it is what the dealer’s system is keyed on.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Porsche WST8 a recall?
No. A service campaign is a manufacturer communication filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR 579.5; a safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number (two digits, a letter, six digits) and a federal duty to repair for free. Check the vehicle’s recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or on its page here.
Is the WST8 repair free?
A service campaign is usually paid by the manufacturer on the vehicles it names, within the terms and time limit the document sets; the dealer checks the VIN against the manufacturer’s list.
Which vehicles does WST8 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 2 model years: 2026 Porsche 911, 2025 Porsche 911. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
