Porsche Taycan 4s Recalls

The Porsche Taycan 4S has 7 recalls covering 2020–2024 model years, with the most serious being a high-voltage battery defect on 2020–2024 vehicles where a short circuit inside the battery modules can cause a fire.

The battery fire risk appears across multiple recalls covering the full production span of the 4S. On 2023 models specifically, an additional battery concern involves insufficient sealant that allows liquid to accumulate inside the pack, where it can cause electrical arcing and raise the fire risk further. These battery issues collectively represent the most significant concern for owners across all years.

On the chassis side, 2021 models have a suspension strut retaining ring that can work loose, dislodging the strut and causing the air spring to lose pressure. When that happens, the vehicle's handling and ride height can change suddenly, raising the risk of losing control.

The 2020–2024 model years also have a charging-related recall: when using a standard 220V/240V household outlet at the 100% charge setting, some outlets cannot handle the current drawn by the compact charging cable, causing the outlet or cable to overheat and potentially catch fire.

Going back to earlier production, 2020–2022 vehicles have a seat belt warning system that fails to sound the chime or illuminate the warning light when a front passenger is unbelted, leaving that occupant without a reminder to buckle up before a crash.
