Some 2024 Taycan vehicles may have incorrect headlight control module software installed. Because of this, the parking lights may not operate as intended when the turn signals are activated. The vehicles also fail to meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108 for lamps and reflective devices.
When the parking lights do not behave as designed during a turn signal, other drivers may have a harder time seeing your vehicle, which increases the risk of a crash.
