Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Porsche is recalling 71 of its 2020-2022 Taycan vehicles because the instrument cluster may display the wrong color and type of warning light when brake pads are worn out. This error means the vehicles do not meet federal safety standards for braking systems and control displays. Owners should take their vehicle to an authorized dealer to have the instrument cluster software updated at no cost.

Risk

If the warning light is the wrong color or uses an incorrect symbol, a driver might not realize their brake pads are dangerously worn. This can lead to reduced braking power and significantly increase the risk of a crash.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your vehicle registration or purchase documents to see if you own a 2020, 2021, or 2022 Porsche Taycan.
  2. Contact an authorized Porsche dealer to schedule a free appointment to have your vehicle's instrument cluster software updated to the correct version.
  3. If you have questions, contact Porsche customer service at 1-800-767-7243 and reference recall number APA5.
  4. You can also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov for more information.
