What's wrong, in plain English

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.

What you should do

1. Enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your vehicle is included.
2. Contact a Porsche dealer, or Porsche customer service at 1-800-767-7243 (recall number ASA2), to book an appointment.
3. Have the dealer replace the front passenger seat cushion — the repair is free.

Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 25V221000.
