The Taycan 12V auxiliary battery drains excessively when the vehicle is parked, even for short periods. The numerous electronic modules and always-on connectivity features draw more current than the 12V battery management system can sustain. A dead 12V battery prevents the car fr… Repairs typically run $200-$800. Severity: high.
NHTSA 22V921 establishes this frozen identity for a VIN-bounded 2021 Taycan population. A sub-supplier machined the retaining-ring groove at the top of an air-suspension strut outside specification, so the ring can loosen, release air from the pneumatic spring, lower one corner a… Severity: high.
NHTSA 24V455 / Porsche ARB0 establishes this identity for affected 2020-2025 Taycan vehicles. Compression during certain steering and driving conditions stresses the front brake hoses at their minimum bending radius; cracks can develop over time and leak fluid, reducing front-bra… Severity: high.
NHTSA 25V221 / Porsche ASA2 establishes this identity for a VIN-bounded 2022-2023 Taycan population. An incorrectly executed crimp at the passenger-seat-cushion heating mat can make the occupant-classification system enter fail-safe mode and deactivate the front passenger airbag. Severity: high.
NHTSA 21V486 / Porsche AMB5 establishes this frozen identity for affected 2020-2021 Taycan vehicles. An internal software error in the pulse-controlled inverter can cause loss of motive power while driving; steering and braking remain functional. Warning messages may occur before… Severity: high.
