Stop Sale on all Taycans?

[Kadam]

Hi all - New member here. Went to purchase a 24 GTS yesterday that I’ve been negotiating on with my sales rep, only to be told they couldn’t sell it to me due to a “stop order” related to a brake line defect recall. Can’t find any details on the recall though. Anybody else hit by this?

Thanks, super helpful! Just wondering why this resulted in a stop sale for such a seemingly easy fix. They told me every dealer in the US is prohibited from selling Taycans until otherwise indicated from Porsche global…Any idea how long this will take to resolve? Anxious to get my new car ?

So now I’m waiting to see if my battery will catch fire AND waiting to see if my brakes will fail.

This has got to be Porsche’s most recalled vehicle, ever. I can understand battery stuff, as that’s new to them, but brakes? Did they forget how to make cars entirely when they started the Taycan?

A new data analysis ranks the vehicles likely to be recalled the most and the least, putting the all-electric Porsche Taycan at the top of the list.


Online automotive search engine and research website IseeCars reviewed statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to make the recall forecasts.

German companies, ironically, own both the most recall-prone model and the least recall-prone, according to the projections.


IseeCars put the Taycan at the top of the most-recalls list with a projected 70.7 lifetime recalls, followed by the Tesla Model Y in the No. 2 spot with 66.9 recalls, and Tesla's Model 3, with 60.7 recalls.

The industry median for a vehicle is 3.2 lifetime recalls, says IseeCars, which says the 25 models with the least projected recalls should have fewer than one in a 30-year lifespan.

Models with the fewest projected recalls fall well below that. Leading that list is the MINI Convertible, with a projected 0.2 lifetime recalls. The second least expected recalls spot belongs to the Lexus models ES 300h, RX 450h and NX 300h, all with 0.3 projected recalls.

The rankings are based on NHTSA recall data for 2015 to 2024 models.

I am now thinking that the ridiculous amount of time I’ve been waiting to order a Taycan may be the universe trying hard to give me time to decide not to…

Owning a Taycan is reminiscent of that old girlfriend where the sex was great but you had no clue what crazy thing she was going to do next!

Certainly don’t want to discourage anyone! My last Taycan (MY21 4S) was flawless and one of my favorite cars ever! Just want to get through this stop order and get my new GTS!

Ask your dealer what is the Porsche campaign code (usually 4 characters long) for the stop sale order.

If if makes you feel any better, I have a 2020 Taycan and the recall orders have been far more than any car I’ve had before but for me they’ve been mostly preventive. I honestly love driving my Taycan and really look forward to getting back in it any time I’m in another car.

FWIW, 2wks ago I took delivery of my new 2024 CT 4S without any stop sale/recalls

I have a planned delivery of a MY25 on Thursday and they haven’t mentioned anything about this yet.

This tsb seems old enough not to be a current stop order… maybe the stop order is for something else? It also seems like one with parts and a solution readily available.

 

[Kadam]

I agree that it doesn’t seem likely that the TSB mentioned above would trigger a nationwide stop sale order. Wondering if something else is going on tbh. I plan to talk to my dealer today and will report back if I get any more details.
