What's wrong?
The central computer, called PCM by Porsche, controls the center display, passenger display, and touch control panel in the 2020-2022 Taycan. When the ignition is switched on, this computer brings up the screens the driver uses, including the rearview camera image used while backing up. The rear camera view depends on that screen and software working at startup.
On affected Taycans, a software issue in the central computer control unit interferes with that display sequence. The recalled software versions are 33XX, 35XX, and 36XX. The center screen and touch control panel can stay black after the ignition is activated, or the Real-Top-View image, including the rearview camera image, can flicker instead of showing a stable view.
The warning sign is visible to the driver. If the rearview camera image is missing, the screen is black; if Real-Top-View is affected, the image flickers instead of displaying normally.
Who's affected?
Spans 3 model years, with the central computer tied to both the camera and transmission-control functions.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific car.
What's the safety risk?
A malfunctioning center screen or touch control panel can block the driver's view of camera assisted driving functions, increasing crash risk. If the rearview camera image is missing, treat that as the warning sign and schedule service soon. Repair is free at any franchised Porsche dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2020-2022 Porsche Taycan is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Porsche dealer to schedule the free software update that fixes the black or flickering center screen, touch control panel, and rearview camera display.
- Bring the recall notice if Porsche sent one. If not, reference recall number 22V404 when you call.
- Use extra care when backing up until the software update is complete; check mirrors and surroundings before moving.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Porsche technician installs the new software that corrects the center screen, touch control panel, Real-Top-View display, and rearview camera image behavior after startup. The software update and labor are covered under the recall at no cost. Out-of-pocket repairs already paid are handled through the Porsche New Car Limited Warranty, not through a separate reimbursement program, because the affected Taycan vehicles were still covered by that warranty. Ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork.
