ANALYSISHow safe is the 2023 Porsche Taycan Turbo S?
The 2023 Taycan Turbo S presents a mixed profile regarding safety data. The vehicle lacks federal crash-test ratings; no neighboring model years were tested to provide a comparative benchmark. While its overall recall and complaint volume falls into the "Light" burden band, the nature of its four recalls is noteworthy. All four campaigns specifically target the electrical and propulsion system, with three directly implicating the traction battery. This concentration of electrical system recalls is a recurring theme across the 2020-2024 Taycan lineup. Additionally, the 19 unverified owner complaints include reports of 3 crashes and 3 injuries. These allegations, while unconfirmed by federal investigators, should be considered by prospective buyers.
