Customer Reactive Statement

The safety of anyone travelling in one of our cars is our highest priority. For this reason, we regularly review the quality of our work. In the course of these reviews, it was discovered that in certain instances, a wiring harness under the front seats in some 2020 and 2021 Taycan vehicles may get caught as the seat is moved forward or back. If this happens, it could make the seat harder to move or inoperable. In rare cases, the wiring harness may be damaged and could affect the supplemental restraint system (air bags, seat belt pre-tensioners), causing the red air bag warning
light to illuminate.

While no incidents have been reported, we will check the wiring harness in all recalled vehicles. Wiring harnesses that are undamaged will be affixed in place with additional material. Any that are damaged will be replaced.

Customers whose cars are affected will be contacted in due course for the work to be carried on a date convenient to them. There will be no charge for this work.

 


Chronology :

In 2021, PorscheeBay became aware of several seat adjustment complaints caused by fabric sheath being caught in the seat adjustment mechanism. No wire harness damage was reported at that time. PorscheeBay began to monitor for additional complaints related to the subject issue.

Between January 2022 and April 2022 additional field analysis identified 3 instances (outside of United States) of wire harness damage resulting in the activation of the RED air bag warning lamp.

While PorscheeBay is not aware of any injuries associated with this issue, on April 20, 2022 PorscheeBay decided to conduct a Safety Recall as a precautionary measure.
