2021 PORSCHE TAYCAN Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2021 Porsche Taycan has 16 recalls, the most serious involving the high-voltage battery, which can short circuit internally and catch fire, suspension components that can detach and cause sudden loss of control, and brake failures that can leave the pedal unresponsive or extend stopping distances. The battery fire risk appears across multiple recalls covering the same underlying defect, with prior repair attempts not fully resolving the issue for all affected vehicles. On the suspension side, a retaining ring on the front strut can come loose, causing the strut to dislodge and the air spring to deflate, while a separate recall covers suspension fasteners that can work free and cause the vehicle to become suddenly unstable. For the brakes, front brake hoses can crack and leak fluid, and a connection inside the brake booster can detach and cause complete pedal failure. There is also a powertrain software issue where the motor control system can incorrectly detect a fault and cut drive power without warning. On the occupant safety side, the front seat wiring can be damaged during normal seat adjustment and disable the airbags, and on vehicles with an optional rear center seat, the center seatbelt hardware can block access to child seat anchors, preventing a child restraint from being properly installed. Rounding out the list are lower-severity electrical and display issues: the instrument cluster can show brake pad wear warnings in the wrong color, the center touchscreen and rearview camera can go dark or flicker on startup, and the hazard lights can activate without a collision threat.
