A small number of Porsche Taycan models are being recalled because of a suspension issue.
The automaker states in the recall notice that individual screw connections at the upper control arm on the rear axle might not have been tightened to the correct specification. A loose screw connection could cause movement of selected suspension components beyond its intended position and if a screw connection fails, it could increase the risk of a crash.
Fortunately, the recall only impacts 35 Taycan models produced between June 17, 2020 and November 16, 2020. The carmaker used production records to identify potentially affected vehicles.

Porsche will resolve the issue by fitting a new nut and bolt and tightening them to the correct specifications. Surrounding components will also be checked for damage and if necessary, any damaged parts will be replaced.
Dealers will be notified of the recall on or before December 1, 2021 while owners will be notified on or before January 18, 2022.
This is far from the only recall issue for the Taycan. In July, Porsche confirmed that an issue could cause the electric sedan to lose power due to a software issue. The car manufacturer quickly rolled out a software update to resolve the issue. This recall came just a month after the Taycan was recalled in the U.S. because a front lower trailing arm could fracture and fail. Select Panamera models were also involved in this recall.
