2022 Porsche Taycan Problems: 11 Known Issues

How to Fix

Ask a Porsche dealer to apply bulletin SY 36/25: fully charge the 12V battery with a lithium-capable charger, then reprogram the battery sensor with the PIWIS Tester. Porsche describes this as a temporary measure while a final fix is developed, and says replacing the battery does not correct this fault. The factory battery is a lithium (LiFePO4) unit, so any charger or replacement must suit a lithium battery. Install a 12V battery maintainer for extended parking. Disable unnecessary always-on features in the vehicle settings.

How to Fix

1) Check your VIN for open recalls: NHTSA 24V-732, Porsche ARB6 or ARB7. Earlier campaigns 23V-840, 24V-215 and 24V-217 also concern this battery. Or call Porsche at 1-800-767-7243 (1-800-PORSCHE). 2) If your letter says ARB6, or Porsche has told you about a battery anomaly, cap charging at 80% until the fix is done. In the PCM, select Charging, open the Profiles tab, tap "Edit General charging profile", set the charge level to 80 or less, turn on the maximum charge level via Optimized charging, activate the General charging profile, and make sure Direct charging is switched off (not blue). 3) Book the recall with a Porsche dealer. The dealer analyzes the battery modules first and replaces any module that shows anomalies, sometimes more than one. The dealer then installs the final fix, new on-board diagnostic software. 4) After the software is installed, it keeps checking the modules. If it finds an anomaly, a warning appears on the head unit and charging is limited, first to 80% and later to less than 80% (Porsche estimates about 50%), until the module is replaced. The recall work is free. If you already paid for this repair, you may be eligible for reimbursement.

How to Fix

Update vehicle software to the latest version. Try a different charger or charging network if one consistently fails. Pre-condition the battery (use the navigation to route to a charger) before DC fast charging to achieve maximum charging speed. Report charger-specific failures to both Porsche and the charging network.

Owner tips & cautions

• TipAlways use the built-in navigation to route to DC fast chargers — this activates battery pre-conditioning which can increase charging speed by 30-50% and reduces charging errors.

How to Fix

Have the battery health checked at a Porsche dealer using PIWIS diagnostics. Minimize DC fast charging to 80% and prefer AC home charging. Avoid storing the vehicle at very high or very low states of charge. Porsche provides an 8-year/100,000-mile battery warranty covering capacity loss below 70%.

Owner tips & cautions

• TipCharge to 80% for daily driving and only charge to 100% before long trips. Avoid DC fast charging above 80%. These habits significantly slow battery degradation.

How to Fix

Under warranty (including Porsche Approved Warranty), the OBC is replaced as a warranty claim. Because 22 kW units are scarce, Porsche commonly offers a goodwill payment (~€1,700) to downgrade to the stable 11 kW charger, which dealers note rarely fails. Out of warranty, a replacement can run roughly $7,000-$10,000 depending on dealer, making the 11 kW downgrade the practical fix.

How to Fix

1) Check your VIN for open recalls with a Porsche dealer or on the NHTSA recall lookup. Look for ASB2 (NHTSA 25V896). On a 2020-2022 car, also confirm that the earlier ANA6 (22V404) screen-software update was done. 2) For ASB2, the dealer updates the driver-assistance control unit software for free. Porsche says the new version handles signal noise better and can restore camera operation by itself after an interruption. Porsche planned to notify dealers on January 16, 2026 and mail owner letters on February 16, 2026. 3) Porsche says it will pay back owners who paid for related repairs after their warranty ran out, so keep your invoices. 4) Until the update is done, use your mirrors and look over your shoulder when reversing. Don't assume a blank screen means the area behind you is clear. 5) If the image still drops out after the recall work, or your VIN is not on the recall list, write down what you see before the dealer visit. Does the screen go blank right at start-up, or only now and then? Does only the rear view go blank, or all the camera views? Do you see a crossed-out camera icon? This helps the dealer decide whether to check the software or the camera, wiring, power and connectors. Have the fault confirmed before you buy a camera or control unit. Outside the recall, one 2022 Taycan owner reported a dealer quote of about $20,000 to replace the camera system; no source gives a typical repair cost range.

How to Fix

1. Ask a Porsche dealer to run your VIN for open campaigns. If your 2020 Taycan is assigned to workshop campaign WLK2, the fix is new wiring harnesses for both charge port doors (part numbers 9J1898352Q driver side and 9J1898352R passenger side, LHD cars). Porsche lists 305 labor units for this work. Only cars assigned to the campaign qualify. 2. If WLK2 does not apply, the dealer follows TI 186/24. They test both doors, then read the fault memory with the PIWIS tester and work through any charge-port-door fault codes using guided troubleshooting. Next they leave the car's electrical system idle for at least 5 minutes and test each door twice from the center console button and twice from the touch-free open/close sensor. 3. If both doors work after the idle period, Porsche says to replace the servo motors (actuators) on both doors with updated parts, part number PAD959774A, to prevent repeat visits. If a door still fails, the technician checks the wiring and connectors at the charge ports, door motors and onboard charger. Damaged wiring is repaired. If the wiring is fine, both charge port modules are replaced (9J1821941H left, 9J1821942H right). 4. The TI says replacing the high-voltage onboard charger is not an appropriate fix for this complaint. If a shop suggests replacing the charger, ask about TI 186/24. Porsche does not say whether repairs outside the WLK2 campaign are covered beyond the normal new-car warranty, and neither bulletin gives a repair cost.

How to Fix

Keep the vehicle software updated to the latest version via OTA or dealer service. Perform a hard reset of the infotainment system if freezing occurs (hold power button for 10 seconds). Report persistent bugs to Porsche for inclusion in future software patches.

Owner tips & cautions

• TipHold the volume knob and the home button simultaneously for 10 seconds to perform a hard reset of the PCM. This resolves most freeze and display issues without a dealer visit.

How to Fix

First, check your VIN on NHTSA's recall lookup or with a Porsche center for recall 24V-455 (Porsche code ARB0). If the recall is open, a Porsche center replaces both front brake hoses with the revised larger-bend-radius hoses free of charge. Until the repair is done, watch for brake warnings, and if you are comfortable doing it, look at the front hoses behind each front wheel for wetness or cracking. If you see a "brake fluid low" or "PSM failure" message, or the pedal goes softer or travels further than normal, stop somewhere safe. Have the car inspected or towed instead of driving on with a possible leak. Porsche Cars North America's phone number in the recall filing is 1-800-767-7243.

How to Fix

First, check your VIN for open recall 25V-221 / ASA2, on NHTSA's recall lookup or by calling Porsche at 1-800-767-7243. If your car is covered, a Porsche dealer removes the front passenger seat cushion and fits a new one. The new cushion has the heat mat already glued to the foam and uses an improved crimp connection. The repair is free. Porsche notes that every affected car was still under the Porsche New Car Limited Warranty, so it is not offering reimbursement for repairs done before the recall. Owner letters were scheduled for June 6, 2025. If the airbag warning light, a cluster message or a lit "Passenger Airbag OFF" lamp shows up while an adult is in the front passenger seat, move that person to another seat or keep the seat empty. Then take the car to a dealer as soon as you can. If your car is not in the recall but shows the same warnings, a dealer should diagnose the occupant classification system and the seat wiring before any parts are replaced. No source gives a cost for a repair outside the recall.

How to Fix

For a reproducible creak, Porsche dealers replace the upper left and right trailing arms on the front axle with the newer component version, per Technical Information SY 265/22 (covers MY 2020-2023 Taycan). Owners report that lubricating the joints quiets the noise only for a while, and that it often comes back, especially in cold weather.

Owner tips & cautions

• TipHave the front anti-roll bar end links checked first — they are the most common source of the clunking noise and the cheapest component to replace.
