Porsche Taycan front strut ring can come loose

high How serious is it? About this label

Serious: the notice says a strut failure can cause a loss of handling and control and raise the risk of a crash, so drive carefully and get the inspection done as soon as your dealer can take the car.

What's wrong, in plain English

A ring that holds the top of a front suspension strut in place can work loose. If it does, the strut can come out of position and lose the air that supports the car's weight on that corner. That side of the car can drop, and the car can become hard to steer and control. Your Porsche dealer will look at the strut and put in a new one if it is needed, at no cost to you.

What you should do

1. Enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your Taycan is included. 2. Call your Porsche dealer, or Porsche customer service at 1-800-767-7243, and ask for recall ANB8. 3. Have the strut inspected and replaced if needed — the repair is free.
