Porsche recalls 40,000 Taycans over airbag wiring fault

Porsche has issued a recall for more than 40,000 Taycans over an electrical problem that could disable the airbags.

The defect, which affects 40,421 Porsche Taycan electric vehicles worldwide, is related to a major wiring harness that has been reported as getting damaged when the driver’s or passenger’s seat is moved in a “longitudinal adjustment”.

The movement inadvertently disables the car’s airbags and seatbelt tensioners, according to German trade journal KFZ-Betrieb.

Owner are advised to visit their dealer where technicians will use textile fabric tape “to further secure the harness under the seat and help prevent potential for harness damage during seat adjustment”.

Models affected are Taycans manufactured between 10 July 2019 and 18 May 2021.
