ANALYSISHow safe is the 2022 Porsche Taycan Turbo S?
The 2022 Taycan Turbo S carries a Moderate burden band rating, a classification driven by its recall and complaint record rather than any crash-test data.

All five recalls issued for the 2022 Taycan Turbo S involve the electrical system, with three specifically addressing the high-voltage traction battery. This concentration of recalls on the electrical architecture is significant for an all-electric vehicle.

Of particular note are the two alleged fires and two alleged crashes documented within these complaints.
