What's wrong?
The front pneumatic suspension strut on the 2021 Porsche Taycan and Taycan 4S is part of the front suspension. It supports the front corner of the vehicle, uses air pressure as the spring, and helps keep the tire planted while the suspension moves over bumps and during steering or braking.
On affected vehicles, the groove at the top of the air suspension strut was not made to specification by a sub-supplier. That groove holds a retaining ring in place. If the groove is wrong, the retaining ring can loosen, the strut can shift out of position, and air can escape from the strut spring. Porsche identified this issue to prevent negative effects on vehicle handling.
Owners will see a warning message and a red warning light for an air suspension malfunction. Treat that as the warning sign that the strut system needs dealer inspection before normal driving continues.
Who's affected?
Both Taycan variants list the same front suspension strut component.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Porsche technician inspects the suspension strut and replaces it when the retaining ring or strut condition calls for replacement. The recall repair is free, with parts and labor covered. Porsche used its general reimbursement plan on file for this campaign, so owners who already paid for a related suspension strut repair can ask Porsche customer service or the dealer how to submit documentation for review.
