Porsche Taycan: deaths and injuries the manufacturer reported to NHTSA
Porsche reported 5 incidents alleging a death or injury in a Porsche Taycan, model years 2020–2022, in its quarterly Early Warning reports to NHTSA (49 CFR 579.21), through 2026 Q1. Each is a claim the manufacturer received, not a finding; NHTSA does not verify them.
By model year
