Porsche DRPRY reportedly issued another recall for a series of high-end Taycan electric vehicles (EVs) in China due to problems related to brakes, marking the second such action in the last year.

According to an announcement on China’s State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) website today, the luxury automaker is recalling 17,278 imported Taycan series EVs manufactured between January 7, 2020, and April 24, 2024, reported CnEV Post.

Due to design issues, the front brake hoses on these vehicles may develop cracks, potentially leading to brake fluid leakage.

According to the announcement, this issue could potentially lead to reduced braking effectiveness, longer braking distances, and an increased risk of vehicle crashes, CnEV Post added.

Porsche will authorize dealers to replace the front axle brake hoses free of charge for the affected vehicles to address this safety concern.

Previously, in October 2023, Porsche recalled 2,570 Taycan EVs in China due to concerns about battery thermal runaway. Additionally, in 2022, there were two other recalls of Taycan EVs in China, as reported by CnEVPost.

The report added that Taycan is among the highest-priced EVs available in China.
