SEAT BELTS: REAR/OTHER:BUCKLE ASSEMBLY
- The defect
- Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (Porsche) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Taycan vehicles equipped with an optional rear center seat. The center seat belt buckle wiring harness may obstruct access to the right rear seat lower child seat anchors, preventing a child seat from being properly secured. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 225, "Child Restraint Anchorage Systems."
- What it can cause
- An improperly secured child seat increases the risk of injury during a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will reroute and secure the center rear seat belt buckle wiring harness and, as necessary, replace a damaged buckle, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 7, 2022. Owners may contact Porsche customer service at 1-800-767-7243. Porsche's number for this recall is ANA4.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 5,305 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 75% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2020 to 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Porsche vehicles have been recalled over the seat belts 8 times before this, most recently in August 2021 as 21V608000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 2 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 160 complaints with NHTSA, 64 of them before this campaign was filed. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in October 2020, 1 year before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 21 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V896000 (back over prevention), 24V732000 (electrical system), 24V731000 (electrical system), 24V455000 (service brakes, hydraulic).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Porsche Cars North America, Inc. with NHTSA on February 22, 2022 as campaign 22V100000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
