The Taycan marks Porsche's bold move into the electric vehicle market, building on the company's plug-in hybrid experience. It's no half-baked effort: it starts out with lots of power and adds plenty more in its upper trims. Just like when Porsche began building SUVs, the Taycan is out to prove it can make an electric vehicle with performance that lives up to the brand's long history of sports cars.
Issue:
On certain vehicles, the front seat wiring could get damaged when adjusting a seat. If this happens, the airbag system may not work properly in a crash.
Note: Damaged wiring can cause the red airbag warning light to stay on in the instrument cluster.
Safety Risk:
An airbag system that does not work properly could increase the risk of injury in a crash.
Corrective Actions:
Porsche will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect the front seat wiring and secure it under the seat.
Issue:
On certain vehicles, the wiring harness for the centre-rear seat belt buckle could interfere with the lower universal anchorage system (UAS) for securing a child seat. As a result, you may not be able to properly attach a child seat in the right-rear seat using the UAS.
Safety Risk:
A child seat that isn't properly secured could increase the risk of injury in a crash.
Corrective Actions:
Porsche will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the wiring harness for the centre-rear seat belt buckle. The wiring will be re-routed and secured, as necessary.
Issue:
On certain vehicles, the bolts that attach the rear axle upper control arms may not have been tightened properly. As a result, the bolts could loosen or break. If this happens, there can be a sudden alignment change that could lead to a loss of vehicle stability.
Safety Risk:
A loss of vehicle stability could increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions:
Porsche will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the nuts and bolts for the rear upper control arms. The dealer will also replace any damaged components, if necessary.
Issue:
On certain vehicles, the passenger seat belt assemblies may contain defective automatic locking retractors (ALR). As a result, the seat belts may not properly lock to secure a child seat.
Safety Risk:
A seat belt that is not properly locked could increase the risk of injury in a crash.
Corrective Actions:
Porsche will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the seat belts. They will be replaced, if necessary.
