— Nearly 28,000 Porsche Taycans are being recalled because a short circuit in the high-voltage battery module could cause a fire.
The recall is for certain 2020-2024 Porsche Taycan SUVs. This recall is an extension of the previous Taycan battery fire recall.
Taycan drivers receive no advance warning if there is a problem with the battery.
Porsche has been monitoring the Taycan due to previous recalls and decided in September that a recall was needed.
Porsche said final fixes to the battery fire risk could occur in the first quarter of 2025. Porsche dealers will install diagnostic software and monitor vehicle data, contacting Taycan owners if needed. These owners will be told to only charge the battery to 80% until the battery is replaced.
“For vehicles for which online data is not available, dealers will perform diagnostic tests and replace the battery module assembly if necessary, and advise owners to only charge to 80% capacity. Repairs will be performed free of charge.” — Porsche
Porsche Taycan battery recall letters are expected to be mailed on November 29, 2024.
Porsche owners can contact Porsche at 800-767-7243. The Porsche Taycan battery recall numbers are ARB5, ARB6 and ARB7.
