25 recalls covering model years 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls — a recall may apply only to some vehicles of a given year.
In these vehicles, the rearview camera image may not show up on the display screen when the vehicle is shifted into reverse. Dealers will fix this by updating the driver assistance software, free of charge.
Porsche is recalling certain Taycan vehicles because of a fault in the system that decides whether the front passenger airbag should be switched on. This system is meant to sense whether someone is sitting in the front passenger seat. An error in it can turn the front passenger airbag off. Dealers will replace the front passenger seat cushion at no cost, and Porsche has mailed notification letters to owners.
On these Porsche Taycan vehicles, the high-voltage battery that powers the car may develop a short circuit inside one of its battery modules.
On certain Porsche Taycan vehicles, the high-voltage battery that powers the car may develop a short circuit inside one of its battery modules. This recall expands and replaces three earlier Taycan battery recalls, so even vehicles already repaired under those earlier recalls will need to have this new repair completed as well.
Porsche is recalling certain Taycan cars that may have been built with the wrong software in the module that controls the headlights. Because of that software, the parking lights may not work as intended when the turn signals are switched on. As a result, these cars do not meet the federal rule covering lamps and reflective equipment. Dealers will update the headlight control module software, and there is no charge to the owner for the update.
In certain Porsche Taycan vehicles, the front brake hoses can develop cracks and begin to leak brake fluid. Losing brake fluid can weaken how well the brakes work and make it take longer for the vehicle to stop when needed. Dealers will fix the problem by replacing the front brake hoses, free of charge to the owner.
Porsche is recalling certain Taycan models because the high-voltage battery may develop a short circuit within its battery modules.
The high-voltage battery in these vehicles may develop a short circuit inside its battery modules. A short circuit like this increases the risk of the battery catching fire.
On certain Porsche Taycan and Taycan Turbo S vehicles, along with several other Taycan variants, the high-voltage battery may develop a short circuit inside one of its battery modules. This means an unwanted electrical connection can form somewhere inside the battery pack. When a short circuit like this happens inside the battery, it increases the chances that a fire could start in the vehicle.
Porsche is recalling a number of electric and plug-in hybrid models, including the Taycan, Cayenne E-Hybrid and Panamera 4S E-Hybrid. When the compact charging system is used with its industrial 220-volt or 240-volt plug at the 100 percent charge setting, some home outlets cannot handle the electrical current the system needs. The outlet or the charging cable can then overheat. Dealers will supply a new 220-volt/240-volt portable charging cable with a built-in temperature sensor, free of charge.
In these vehicles, the high voltage battery may not have enough sealant applied during manufacturing. Without enough sealant, liquid can get into the battery and build up inside it over time. This buildup of liquid inside the battery can cause electrical arcing. Dealers will test each vehicle's battery for leaks and replace the battery if needed, at no cost to the owner.
On some Taycan vehicles, the dashboard display that is supposed to warn the driver when the brake pads are worn shows the warning in the wrong color. Because the color of this warning is incorrect, a driver may not recognize it as a signal that the brake pads need attention, since the indicator does not display the way it is meant to.
Porsche is recalling certain Taycan vehicles. When someone is sitting in the passenger seat without the seat belt fastened, the seat belt warning light and the reminder chime do not come on the way they are supposed to. Because of this, these vehicles do not meet the federal government's safety standard covering occupant crash protection. Dealers will update the software in the instrument cluster, the display area behind the steering wheel, free of charge.
Certain Porsche Taycan vehicles have a suspension strut with a retaining ring on top that can come loose over time. If the ring loosens, the strut can become dislodged and lose air, affecting the air suspension at that corner of the vehicle.
On certain 2020-2022 Taycan vehicles, a software error can cause the center screen, including the rearview camera image, and the touch control panel to stay black right after the car is started. The Real-Top-View image, including the rearview camera, can also flicker instead of showing a steady picture.
On certain 2020-2021 Porsche Taycan vehicles, the wire harness for the driver or passenger seat may become damaged when the seat is adjusted from side to side. A damaged wire harness in the seat may turn off the air bags for that seat. Dealers will check the seat wire harness for damage, add tape to help hold it in place, and repair any damaged wires.
Some Taycan vehicles with the optional rear center seat have a seat belt buckle wiring harness that can block access to the lower anchor points for the right rear seat. This can make it hard to properly attach a child seat in that seat.
The front and rear suspension on this Taycan may be misaligned. When the suspension is out of alignment, the tires can wear prematurely or unevenly.
Porsche is recalling certain Taycan vehicles because the screw connections that hold the front and rear upper control arms on the rear axle may be loose. These connections are part of the suspension system that keeps the wheels properly attached and controlled. If a connection isn't tight, it could work its way loose or fail over time. Dealers will replace the affected screw connections to correct the problem.
The pre-collision automatic hazard lights on certain Taycan vehicles may turn on during situations that are not actual emergencies. Because the lights are not being used the way they're meant to be, the vehicle does not meet the federal requirements for this equipment.
Porsche is recalling certain 911 Carrera and Taycan vehicles because a rod connection in the brake booster may be loose. The rod could come loose and detach completely. If it detaches, the brake pedal can fail, and a failed brake pedal raises the risk of a crash.
On some Porsche cars, including the Panamera, Taycan and 911, the seat belts have a locking feature used to hold a child seat in place. That lock can switch off too soon, so the belt may not hold the child restraint securely. Because of this, the cars do not meet a federal safety standard covering occupant protection in a crash. Dealers will check the seat belt assemblies and replace them if needed at no cost.
A software problem in the monitoring system can wrongly detect a fault and shut down the powertrain, causing the car to suddenly lose the power that drives it. Dealers will reprogram the power electronics and the engine control unit to fix this, free of charge.
The front lower trailing arms on these vehicles were not manufactured correctly and may break. Dealers will replace the front lower trailing arms with correctly made parts, free of charge.
Certain Porsche vehicles have suspension parts, such as nuts and bolts, that may not have been tightened correctly when the vehicle was built. These parts can loosen, and a suspension component can come loose or detach from the vehicle. A suspension component that comes loose can cause a sudden loss of vehicle stability and control, which increases the chance of a crash.
Recalls and NHTSA owner complaints for each model year, side by side. Complaints are unverified owner reports, and better-selling or older years naturally collect more — read this as a record, not a ranking.

NHTSA lists 25 safety recalls covering the 2020–2024 Porsche Taycan. 19 of them are rated high or critical on this site. The most recent is "Porsche Cayenne, Panamera and Taycan Rearview Camera Failure" (NHTSA campaign 25V896000), reported Dec 19, 2025.
The 2021 Porsche Taycan has the most, with 21 recalls. The 2024 model year has the fewest of the years we cover, with 6. Newer model years have had less time to collect recalls, so a low count on a recent year is not a guarantee.
No. None of the 25 Porsche Taycan recalls on file carries a do-not-drive or park-outside advisory from NHTSA.
