Summary

Porsche is recalling 606 vehicles, including various Taycan models from 2020 through 2023, because the high-voltage battery may experience a short circuit within its modules. This internal short circuit can lead to a fire, posing a safety hazard. Owners are instructed to limit their vehicle's charging to a maximum of 80% capacity until a permanent repair is made. Porsche dealers will replace the affected battery modules free of charge to resolve the issue.
