German sports carmaker Porsche has issued a global recall for all Taycan models manufactured since its launch in 2020.

The primary reason behind this is a braking issue that Posche found in some of the cars while insisting that the car is safe to drive.

Launched in 2019, the Taycan sold more than 40,000 units in 2023, up 16.7 percent from the previous year. Taycan is based on the J1 platform, which is derived from the MSB for internal combustion applications. The J1 is shared with the Audi e-tron GT.

The German carmaker Porsche has claimed that 31,689 cars have been affected, while the total sales of the Taycan have surpassed 150,000 globally. Porsche has not disclosed the precise number of cars affected by the recall. Porsche claims that only 1 percent of the cars have encountered this problem.

Earlier, Porsche had called thousands of Taycans about faulty battery cells.

What’s the issue?

Porsche has noted an issue concerning the front brake hoses. The hoses were developing cracks that led to the brake fluid getting leaked, which reduced the brake pressure and the effectiveness of the system.

As the brake fluid is responsible for accurate braking, the leaked liquid leads to lesser brake pressure and a deviation from perfect braking.

The cars that develop faults will display a warning light on the dashboard. Owners may notice messages like “brake fluid low” or “PSM failure.”

If an owner sees a warning light, they should drive their car to a dealership; if a red light appears, they should contact Porsche and not use the car.

Cars that are not showing a warning light remain safe to drive.

How will the issue be resolved?

The remedy requires dealers to inspect and replace the front brake hoses with a new set with an increased bending radius.

The service will be performed free of charge, while the work will take around two hours.
