Hello

Newbie here. I was supposed to take delivery of my Taycan Turbo S today, only for Porsche GB to send a note out to all dealers telling them not the release certain vehicles. Dealer assumes its some kind of recall although no clear information at present.

Does anyone know what's going on, or had a similar experience?

Hopefully they are in the process of "fixing" something...

Maybe a firmware/software upgrade to finally fix the 12V battery failure issues, or intermittent WBA and/or ParkAssist Warnings? You know, an OTA (Over The Air) update that can only be done at the dealer...

Someone on the Taycan forum UK fb group had a similar experience. Supposedly it’s a recall that only affects 96 cars​

Better than recalling it after you get the car. Honestly nothing at all to be concerned about, although waiting longer always sucks.

Thanks for the replies. I didn't spot the UK specific forum. Silly me.
Can the moderators delete this post so i don't get told off for cross posting!

My business partner had the same on his 4s. Due to pick up Saturday and got the stop sale instruction Friday! Be interested to know what it is?

No news. The dealers still don't know what the issue is.

Yup, business partner asked today and said the same. No update from Porsche! Can’t really understand after 5 or so days how a dealer cannot know what the problem is, unless they are just not saying!

Unlucky. No update at all. The Dealer is still waiting to hear from Germany to find out what's going on. Is yours a Turbo S also ?

But a previous poster said his 4s was affected as well.
Yep it is a little weird.

Hopefully Porsche will prioritize this bug/fix so sales can continue :)
