Porsche Cars North America, Inc.: Taycan Models Recalled for Seat Belt Warning System Malfunction

Agency Publication Date: March 17, 2023

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Porsche is recalling 130 of its Taycan vehicles from the 2020 through 2023 model years because the seat belt warning system may fail. Specifically, when a passenger is not wearing their seat belt, the required warning light and audible chime may not activate. Dealers will fix this issue by updating the instrument cluster software at no cost to owners.

Risk

If the seat belt warning system fails to alert a passenger to buckle up, they are more likely to remain unbelted during travel, which significantly increases the risk of serious injury or death in the event of a crash.

What You Should Do

  1. Check if your vehicle is one of the affected models: 2020 Taycan Turbo; 2021 Taycan, Taycan 4S Cross Turismo; 2022 Taycan, Taycan Turbo, Taycan GTS, Taycan 4 Cross Turismo, Taycan 4S Cross Turismo; 2020-2022 Taycan 4S and Taycan Turbo S; or 2023 Taycan.

  3. If you have further questions, contact Porsche customer service at 1-800-767-7243 and reference recall number APA2.
