Porsche Recalls Nearly Every Taycan It Ever Sold in the U.S.

Nearly 32,000 Taycan vehicles are being recalled due to potential brake failure.

In 2019 Porsche began to build the Taycan, their first-ever all-electric car. Despite not having an internal combustion engine, the Taycan has all the performance you could ever want from a Porsche. Last year it outsold both the Panamera and 718 model lines. However, this week the Taycan hit a speed bump. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) issued a recall for 31,689 Taycan vehicles that were built between October 21, 2019, and June 13, 2024. That covers just about every Taycan Porsche has ever sold in the U.S.

The issue is with the brakes, the front brakes specifically. The front brake hoses may develop cracks over time which can lead to a loss of brake fluid and front braking performance. Even if this condition were to occur, the rear brakes would remain functional. And while the recall covers nearly every Taycan in the country, it is estimated that only 5 percent have this problem.
