Porsche Taycan safety recalls
DVSA lists 17 safety recalls for the Porsche Taycan since 1992, the first in 2021. The most recent was launched on 16 January 2026.
ASB1 Recall campaign - Check wiring harness of the front seats and rework if necessary
Launched 16 January 2026DVSA recall R/2026/015Manufacturer ref. ASB1
Defect
For affected vehicles there is a possibility that the wiring harness for the front seats has not been installed in accordance with specifications and the harness may be damaged by seat adjustment over the lifetime of the vehicle.
Remedy
To prevent this the installation of the affected wiring harness is to be checked and if necessary reworked.
A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Porsche Taycan. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or
incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a
dealer. How we match recalls to models.
Figures cover Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales). Northern Ireland is not included.
Licensed counts are vehicles with a current tax or exemption at the end of each year (or the latest quarter). SORN counts are shown separately.
First registrations count vehicles registered in Great Britain for the first time, including used imports.
Models are grouped by DVLA’s generic model name, so every generation and trim counts together.
MOT figures cover normal tests of cars aged three and over in 2025; retests are excluded. Age is rounded to the nearest year.
DVSA records the model name typed in at the test. We match those names to DVLA’s generic models, so a handful of tests may be counted under a close relative.
