There looks to be a lot of connections that need to be repaired, not just the rear camera. Anybody get this done and can share how long it took?

I got it done, it was very quick (less than an hour), they did it at the same time as putting my winter tires.

With 5.947 Taycans affected. good thing the cause was only "due to a temporary manufacturing defect" and that it only affected 3 model years (2021, 22, 23)

I had this done two weeks ago. Dopped the car off at 8:30 and they told me it would be ready later in the day. Left the Dealer and got a call 60 minutes later the Car was done. I was surprised as I thought it was a big recall. Hopefully no other recalls for a while.
