What's wrong?
In recall 22V100, the part at issue is the seat belt buckle wiring harness on 2020-2021 Porsche Taycan vehicles with the optional rear center seat. That harness is a small electrical lead attached to the center rear buckle. It is supposed to sit out of the way while the right rear lower child seat anchors remain open for a child seat connector.
On affected Taycans, assembly variation left the harness with enough slack and no positioning aid to keep it in the intended path. If it is routed across the inboard lower anchor for the right rear seat, it blocks access to that anchor. A child seat then cannot latch correctly to both lower anchors, so it is not secured as the anchorage system requires.
The warning sign appears during child-seat installation. If the connector will not latch onto the inboard lower anchor because the buckle harness is in the way, that is the issue Porsche describes.
Who's affected?
The included seat belt issues involve rear anchorage and buckle assembly hardware tied to the same seat belt buckle wiring harness.

What's the safety risk?
An improperly secured child seat increases the risk of injury during a crash. If the center rear child seat does not latch to the inboard LATCH anchor, stop using that seating position for a child restraint until the dealer checks the buckle wiring harness. Repair is free at any franchised Porsche dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2020-2021 Porsche Taycan is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Porsche dealer to schedule the free wiring-harness reroute that clears access to the right rear child-seat anchors.
- Bring the recall notice if Porsche mailed one. If not, reference recall number 22V100 when you call.
- Avoid using the right rear lower child-seat anchors until the dealer confirms the buckle wiring harness is routed and secured correctly.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Porsche technician reroutes and secures the center rear seat belt buckle wiring harness so it does not block access to the right rear lower child seat anchors. If the buckle is damaged, the technician replaces it. Parts and labor are covered under the recall. Out-of-pocket repairs already paid are handled through the Porsche New Car Limited Warranty, not through a separate reimbursement program, because the affected vehicles are still under warranty. Ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork.

What should I do if my 2020-2021 Porsche Taycan is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific Taycan is included in recall 22V100. If it is, contact a franchised Porsche dealer to schedule the harness rerouting and inspection. Porsche mailed owner letters on April 7, 2022. Reference recall 22V100 or Porsche recall ANA4 when you call.

What is the safety risk in recall 22V100?
