2011 CTT is 500 miles into replaced cam adjuster fastening screw per recall and getting this and same for Bank 1, which is code P0421:  

 

P0431 CODE DEFINITION:

• Catalyst 1 Efficiency Below Threshold Bank 2

 

Any thoughts?

This is very likely the result of the cam adjuster failure.  I almost guarantee that the side you're getting the cat efficiency fault on is the side that the cam adjuster failed on.  When the adjuster fails it pushes all kinds of fuel and oil into the cat in some cases (albeit fairly rare cases) and fatally damages the cat.  Hopefully you're still under 7 years/70,000 miles and get covered under federal emissions warranty and if you aren't hopefully you have a good relationship with you dealer and they can push for coverage through Porsche.

 

Whoops just reread your original post and noticed you didn't have a failure, you just had the campaign completed.  In that case the cat is probably just bad.  Exhaust leaks are very rare on these and nothing done under the campaign would cause this fault

I had a similar prob after cam adjusters and bolts replaced. It was valve cover gaskets. They pinched 1 when putting back together. Fixed and was fine but now I'm getting code p2404  I clear code and it comes back bout every 40-70 miles. Still looking into it.
