Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Porsche Cars North America is recalling 205 electric vehicles, including several 2021-2023 Taycan models, because the high-voltage battery can experience a short circuit within its modules. This defect can lead to a fire even while the vehicle is parked or in use. Dealers will inspect the high-voltage battery and replace any necessary modules free of charge to ensure the vehicle is safe.

Risk

A short circuit in the high-voltage battery modules creates an immediate fire hazard, which can lead to property damage or personal injury. While the recall data does not specify parking instructions, a battery fire is a serious safety event that can occur without warning.
