Known issues on the 2021 Taycan. Twenty-one recalls are on federal record for this model year, more than most gas models this manual covers, and several return to the same systems across multiple campaigns. The high-voltage traction battery and charging system are the biggest recurring theme: five separate recalls cover a short circuit within the battery modules that can increase the risk of a fire, and a sixth covers a charging cable and outlet that can overheat at the industrial 220V/240V plug setting, also increasing the risk of a fire. Suspension work shows up four times too, from loose suspension components and a broken front lower trailing arm to a retaining ring on the front strut coming loose and dislodging it, each capable of causing a loss of vehicle control, plus a separate campaign for front and rear suspension misalignment that can cause premature or uneven tire wear. The brake system has its own trio of campaigns: a loose pressure input rod at the brake booster that can cause pedal failure, front brake hoses that can crack and leak fluid, and a worn-pad warning light displayed in the wrong color. Seat belt and child-seat hardware is covered by three recalls, from automatic locking retractors that deactivate early to a center seat belt buckle harness blocking the lower anchors and a seat belt chime that fails to sound for an unbelted passenger. The remaining campaigns address electrical and software faults: monitoring software that shuts down the powertrain, a center screen and touch control panel that can go black or flicker, a separate rearview camera image that can fail to display when the vehicle is placed in reverse, pre-collision hazard lights triggering with no emergency present, and a damaged seat wiring harness that can deactivate air bags. Owners have filed 69 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

From a high-voltage battery inspection to a front strut or brake hose replacement, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2021 Taycan.
