2020 PORSCHE TAYCAN Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2020 Porsche Taycan has 17 recalls, the most serious being multiple high-voltage battery defects where internal short circuits or moisture intrusion can cause a fire, along with two brake system failures that can either cause brake fluid to leak from cracked front hoses or leave the brake pedal completely unresponsive. The powertrain software can misread a fault and cut drive power without warning, leaving the driver with no acceleration; a restart using the ignition button can restore power. Rear suspension upper control arm fasteners may be loose and can cause a loss of vehicle stability if the connection fails. On the restraint side, the front seat wire harnesses can be damaged by seat adjustment and may disable the airbags, and the center rear seatbelt buckle wiring can block access to the right rear child seat anchors, preventing a proper connection. There is also an instrument cluster issue where worn brake pad warnings display in the wrong color and may be misread, and a software fault that can leave the center screen and rearview camera black at startup or cause the surround-view display to flicker. A separate software issue can cause the automatic hazard lights to activate when no emergency exists, which may confuse other drivers.
