Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2022 Taycan.
The 2022 Porsche Taycan is a rear‑wheel‑drive luxury sedan built on Porsche’s all‑electric PDK platform, powered by a dual‑motor, all‑electric powertrain that delivers instant torque and a high‑level of electric efficiency. In this model year the vehicle accumulated 78 owner complaints, with the electrical system cited as the most frequent issue and 12 recalls issued to address various defects. Compared to the broader 2020‑2024 complaint trend—where 2020 saw the highest count of 90 complaints and 2024 the lowest at 9—the 2022 Taycan sits near the upper end of the reliability spectrum, indicating a relatively higher propensity for reported issues within its cohort.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
The 2022 model year represents a transitional point in the Taycan’s lifecycle, positioned between the high-recall volume of 2021 (21 recalls) and the dramatically lower complaint counts of 2023–2024 (19 and 9, respectively). While complaints ticked up to 78 from 2021’s 69—interrupting the prior downward trend—recalls fell sharply to 12, matching 2020 levels, and federal investigations closed entirely, suggesting earlier regulatory concerns were resolved. Technical Service Bulletins declined steadily to 756, continuing the downward trajectory from 1,023 in 2020 that indicates improving service protocols and platform maturity. The 2022 data identifies Electrical System and Power Train as the leading complaint categories with 17 and 11 instances, respectively, alongside two crash-related and two fire-related complaints, though the data does not specify root causes for these incidents. Given that 2022 precedes the steep reliability improvements seen in 2023 while carrying fewer recalls than the 2021 peak, it presents a moderate-risk purchase that benefits from maturing technical support but retains higher complaint exposure than later model years.
