2021 Porsche Taycan Turbo S Recalls & Complaints

The 2021 Porsche Taycan Turbo S has 5 recalls, the most serious being a high-voltage battery defect where an internal short circuit can develop inside the battery modules and cause a fire.

A separate but related fire risk involves the compact charging system: when using a 220V/240V outlet at the 100% charge setting, some home outlets cannot handle the current draw, causing the outlet or the charging cable itself to overheat and potentially catch fire. Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the battery short circuit issue, and multiple campaigns have addressed it over time. On the safety equipment side, the seatbelt warning system can fail to activate the dashboard warning light or audible chime when a passenger is unbelted, leaving that occupant without a reminder to buckle up before a crash.
