2020-21 Porsche 9J1 Taycan: impaired access to ISOFIX anchors
In March 2022, recall campaign ANA4 was issued for 2020-21 Porsche 9J1 Taycan vehicles.

In October 2023, recall campaign APB2 was issued for 2022-23 Porsche 9J1 Taycan vehicles. Due to a manufacturing issue, there was a possibility of insufficient sealing between the high voltage battery casing and battery cover – this could lead to moisture entering the high voltage battery.
