Buying a used 2023 Porsche Taycan? Check these 11 recalls first
The battery recalls continue, including a sealing flaw and several short-circuit fire campaigns plus the overheating portable charging cable; none carried a stop-driving or park-outside instruction. Remaining items are front brake hoses that can crack and leak, a passenger airbag that may switch itself off, and a backup camera that can go blank. Complaint volume drops sharply to 19 unverified NHTSA reports — 9 electrical system, 7 service brakes — but those include 3 crashes and 3 injuries.
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.
- Ask whether the battery sealing recall required module or pack replacement
- Test the brakes and inspect front brake hoses given the service brake complaints
- Confirm the backup camera and passenger airbag indicator work every start
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Porsche dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
