Every Porsche Safety Recall In The UK, By Model And Year, With What Each Fault Means And How To Get It Fixed
Porsche has 122 UK safety recalls in DVSA records, including 57 since 2020. The most common recent faults involve suspension, software and high-voltage battery. Enter your registration to check your Porsche; you won't usually pay for a recall repair at a franchised Porsche dealer.1
Which Car Is It?
Choose the make and model so we can match recalls to your car.
Porsche sells relatively few cars in the UK, so a small number of recalls gives it a high rate per 100,000 cars on the road. For owners, the Taycan is the model to watch. R/2024/267 replaced the front brake hoses on 21,548 Taycan vehicle-records, because they could be damaged and leak brake fluid, and R/2024/454 checked the high-voltage battery cell modules and reprogrammed the battery software on 7,916 more. If your Taycan's letter gives charging advice, follow it until the work is done; see our electric car recalls page. Suspension is the most common type of Porsche recall since 2020, so mention any knocks or uneven ride when you book. Earlier recalls updated the engine control system on Cayenne and Panamera models for nitrogen oxide emissions (R/2022/002) and fixed a Macan fuel pump cover that could rub a pipe (R/2020/046). Porsche codes are four letters and numbers, such as ARB0. Any Porsche Centre can check your VIN.

How Many Recalls Has Porsche Had?
Since 2020 Porsche has launched 57 UK recalls. Adjusted for its cars on the road, that is 22.94 car recalls per 100,000 licensed cars.
The per-car figure divides car recalls since 2020 by the number of Porsche cars licensed in the UK in 2026 Q2, with van-only recalls removed.2 Porsche has a small number of cars on UK roads, so one or two recalls can move this rate a long way. A higher count doesn't mean a car is less reliable: it reflects the size of the range, how vans are counted and how readily a maker recalls. See which car makes have the most recalls.
The Most Common Porsche Recall Faults
Recent Porsche recalls most often involve suspension, software and high-voltage battery.

Data: DVSA vehicle recall data (Open Government Licence v3.0), updated 15 October 2026.
Sources
- The Code does not itself say repairs are free. GOV.UK guidance says "You will not usually have to pay for any repairs or parts under a safety recall." gov.uk Checked 15 Oct 2026.
- Models with fewer than 5 refs show lists, not rates.
- Code timelines: Producers normally respond to DVSA within 28 days (5.5); DVSA reviews are typically monthly (5.4). DVSA must be notified "as soon as the safety defect has been confirmed" (6.1). 3 notifications per motorist is seen as reasonable (8.3). Response rates are reported every three months (11.1).
