Description of the problem	Recall work mishandled and caused problem: i went to porsche for a regular oil change. They said that there is an active recall on camshaft and they can also be performed while the car is in. Now when i went to get my car back they said the engine light was on and when they checked the tech says the parts seems to be all new and it was done at a different work shop. They asked me to go to the shop and check with them. But i told them it was done few months back and i had no issues at all and the car didnt have any issues when i gave it for oil change( no check engine light). Also when i entered the car i was able to smell a thick oil smell which i informed becky the service consultant and i was told that it could be oil spill when they did oil change. I asked if the issue might be related to the camshaft work they did but they promptly said it was not related. So i took the car to the auto shop ( porsche certified shop) to have them check it. The shop checked and didnt find any issues with their parts they replaced since it was covered under warranty they went ahead replaced the part and the check engine light sign didnt go away, so they performed smoke test and found out the intake leak coming from a sensor seal on the valve cover. They said this is because of the camshaft work that has caused a large air leak in the engine setting the check engine light. Also when they checked the covers they found that there were 2 aluminium screws that were broken . When the cover was removed the alumimium screws were supposed to be replaced which were not and the old ones were used which lead to tension and they were broken the auto shop has provided me with all the details and evidence of the issue along with video to showcase. I need nhtsa assistance to help me guide on this issue caused by the dealership to my car while working on the recall.
