Buying a used 2021 Porsche Taycan Turbo S? Check these 5 recalls first
This trim's file is almost entirely battery and charging: four critical campaigns covering high-voltage battery short circuits that can cause fire, plus the portable charging cable that can overheat, shared with the Cayenne. None carried a stop-driving or park-outside instruction. The only other item is a non-functioning seat belt warning chime. Owner reporting is minimal — one unverified NHTSA complaint, filed under electrical system, with no crashes, fires or injuries recorded.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Get a VIN recall report and confirm every battery campaign shows as completed
- Ask if the high-voltage battery or modules were ever replaced
- Confirm the supplied portable charger is the recall-replaced unit
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Porsche dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
