Porsche Cars North America, Inc.: 2020-2022 Porsche 911 and Taycan Recalled for Missing Body Welds

Summary

Porsche is recalling 3 specific vehicles—a 2020 911 Carrera S, a 2021 Taycan Turbo, and a 2022 911 Carrera—because they may have been manufactured with missing welds on the vehicle body. This defect was caused by a process error on the production line and means the vehicle structure may not perform as intended during a collision. Owners of these three vehicles can have their cars inspected and repaired by a Porsche dealer at no cost.

Risk

If the vehicle body is missing critical welds, it may not provide the necessary structural integrity to protect occupants during a crash. This structural weakness significantly increases the risk of injury to everyone inside the vehicle if an accident occurs.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your vehicle's identification to see if it is one of the three affected units: a 2020 911 Carrera S, a 2021 Taycan Turbo, or a 2022 911 Carrera.
  2. Contact an authorized Porsche dealer to schedule a free inspection and repair of the vehicle body welds.
  3. You may contact Porsche's customer service at 1-800-767-7243 and refer to recall number APA4 for more information.
  4. For additional questions or to check your VIN, call 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.
