Porsche is recalling certain 2022 and 2023 Taycan vehicles because an occupant classification system error may deactivate the front passenger air bag, increasing injury risk in a crash.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This recall involves a structural safety defect (failed air bag deployment) that creates a risk of injury in a crash. The source does not report any actual injuries or deaths, only the hazard of potential injury; therefore, the score does not meet the Severe (4) threshold but exceeds Moderate because it involves a critical safety system failure.
