Due to design reasons, the front brake hoses on these vehicles may crack, potentially causing brake fluid to leak.

To resolve this safety issue, Porsche will instruct its dealers to replace the front axle brake hoses of the affected vehicles free of charge.

Previously, Porsche recalled 2,570 Taycan electric vehicles in China in October 2023 due to concerns about battery thermal runaway. In addition, there were two more recalls of Taycan electric vehicles in China in 2022, CnEVPost reported.
