Buying a used 2021 Porsche Taycan? Check these 21 recalls first

21 NHTSA recalls · 69 owner complaints on file

The 2021 Taycan has 21 recalls in this group. Battery fire risks and charging equipment overheating stand out, alongside power-loss software, suspension, brake, airbag wiring, and restraint concerns. Camera, display, warning, and alignment issues broaden the record. NHTSA lists 69 owner complaints, which are unverified reports, including electrical system 37, engine 16, power train 11, and service brakes 8. The complaint record lists 4 crashes, 2 fires, and 2 injuries; these reports do not establish recall-related causes.

Before you buy

  1. 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.
  2. Verify all battery and portable charging cable recall completion records.
  3. Request brake, suspension, and power-loss software recall repair documentation.
  4. Confirm airbag wiring and seat belt recall repairs; check screen and camera operation.
  5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Porsche dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
