Buying a used 2022 Porsche Taycan? Check these 12 recalls first
Battery fire risk still dominates — six critical campaigns covering high-voltage battery short circuits and the overheating portable charging cable — but the mechanical items narrow to cracking front brake hoses and a passenger airbag that may switch itself off, alongside blank screen/camera and false brake-pad-warning fixes. None carried a stop-driving or park-outside instruction. NHTSA lists 79 unverified owner complaints, 36 in electrical system and 18 in power train, with 2 crashes, 2 fires and 1 injury.
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.
- Verify every battery-related recall shows completed on the VIN report
- Check the passenger airbag status light with someone seated up front
- Look for cracking or seepage at the front brake hoses
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Porsche dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
