According to reports, the Porsche Taycan could have a problem with the front brake hose. The brake hose is likely to develop cracks overtime on some units. Due to this, less than 1% of the Taycan may be subject to a reduced brake pressure if the brake fluid leaks. Also, this might require the driver to apply more brake pressure than normal as the braking effort might get reduced. Furthermore, if a red warning light is being displayed on the dashboard of the Taycan, the car must not be driven and taken directly to the nearest dealership to resolve the issue which might be due to the brake hose. Cars with no warning lights displayed are safe to drive reveals reports. In addition to this, sources report that the company is conducting internal testing and developing an optimised brake hose with a new design on the front axle in lieu of safety.
