Porsche Taycan Electric Vehicle Recall: What You Need to Know
Background
Porsche has issued a recall for all Porsche Taycan models manufactured since its launch in 2020 due to a potential brake failure. The German carmaker has identified an issue affecting a small number of cars but assures that it remains safe to drive.
The precise number of cars affected has not been disclosed, but the carmaker has sold over 150,000 units worldwide. The recall affects all model years and variants of the Taycan, including the Taycan, Taycan Cross Turismo, and Taycan Sport Turismo.
Potential Brake Failure
The potential brake failure is caused by a manufacturing defect in the brake hoses. In rare cases, the brake hoses may rupture, causing a loss of brake fluid and resulting in a loss of braking power.
Porsche has redesigned the brake hoses and assures that the failure will not occur again. The carmaker is confident that the recall will address the issue and ensure the safety of all Taycan owners.
What Porsche Owners Should Do
Porsche owners who see a warning light on their dashboard should drive their cars to a dealership for immediate inspection. If a red light appears, Porsche advises owners to refrain from using their cars and contact their dealership for assistance.
Dealerships will replace the brake hoses on all affected Taycan models free of charge. The repair is expected to take approximately one day to complete.
