2021 PORSCHE TAYCAN 4S

This 2021 Porsche Taycan 4S is listed by the auction with a SALVAGE CERTIFICATE and SIDE as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the photographs show localized missing trim on the left front side, supporting the SIDE damage code; however, the SALVAGE CERTIFICATE status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The visible damage consists of a minor missing section of black lower front-fender/air-intake trim behind the left front wheel. This leaves an irregular opening at the lower edge of the wheel arch. The trim should be replaced, and the surrounding area should be inspected for any related damage. The tire-pressure monitoring warning symbol is also illuminated in the instrument cluster. Tire pressures, the tires and wheels, and the TPMS system should be checked before operation. NHTSA VIN decoding identifies the vehicle as a left-hand-drive, four-door electric sedan manufactured by Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG in Germany. It is equipped with an automatic two-speed transmission, a 522-horsepower electric powertrain, and seating for four occupants. Official NHTSA records list multiple recalls for the 2021 Porsche Taycan. These include recalls involving suspension components, the brake booster and front brake hoses, rear seat-belt systems, seat wiring, instrument-cluster and vehicle software, rearview-camera functionality, charging equipment, and the high-voltage battery. Several battery recalls advise limiting charging to 80% until the applicable remedy is completed. Recall campaigns also include 21V157000, 21V362000, 21V486000, 21V697000, 22V921000, 23V840000, 24V455000, 24V731000, 24V732000, and 25V896000, among others. The repair status and applicability of each campaign should be confirmed with Porsche or an authorized dealer using the VIN before purchase or use.
