DATANot crash-tested
The 2022 Porsche 911 Targa 4S presents an unusual profile in the federal safety data. With no crash-test results published by NHTSA, the model year carries no star ratings nor an assigned Safety Index score. This absence of foundational data prevents a comprehensive federal safety assessment. However, the available record is notably clear: the Targa 4S shows a "Clean" burden band, indicating no reported issues that triggered a federal safety concern. There are zero recalls on file for this model year. Further, owner complaints are minimal, numbering just eight unverified reports, none of which cite crashes, fires, injuries, or fatalities. While this suggests a low incidence of reported problems, the lack of crash-test performance data remains a significant gap in its safety evaluation.
The 2022 Porsche 911 Targa 4s was not crash-tested by NHTSA, carries zero recalls, and falls in the Clean burden band according to NHTSA data.

ANALYSISHow safe is the 2022 Porsche 911 Targa 4s?
The 2022 Porsche 911 Targa 4s holds a unique position within the MotorCaliber record: no recall campaigns have been issued. This zero-recall standing is a primary factor in its placement within the Clean burden band, the lightest category in our analysis. Federal data shows a total of eight unverified owner complaints for this model year. It is significant that none of these eight allegations describe a crash, fire, injury, or fatality, which substantially limits the severity profile of the complaint record. Half of all reported complaints pertain to the Fuel/Propulsion System. While this concentration warrants attention in any specific vehicle, the overall number of complaints remains low for a vehicle now four years old. No sibling model years of the 911 Targa 4s have undergone crash testing by NHTSA within the years covered by this guide, leaving no tested-year data for comparative reference. The Clean burden band designation reflects observed record data, not an assessment of crash-test performance.
