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

21 NHTSA recalls · 69 owner complaints on file

This year carries the heaviest critical list: multiple high-voltage battery short-circuit fire recalls, the overheating portable charging cable, a brake pedal that may fail, a front suspension arm that can break, software that can shut down power while driving, and suspension bolts that may loosen. None were issued with a stop-driving or park-outside instruction. NHTSA shows 69 unverified owner complaints, 37 in electrical system, with 4 crashes, 2 fires and 2 injuries reported.

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. Confirm all battery fire recalls and the suspension arm recall are closed on this VIN
  3. Ask about brake pedal feel and any sudden power loss events
  4. Have suspension bolts and control arms inspected during a pre-purchase check
  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.
