— Nearly 31,000 Porsche Taycans are recalled because fires can occur due to short circuits in the high voltage battery modules.
Recalled are certain 2020-2024 Porsche Taycan SUVs, and this recall is an expansion of previous Taycan battery fire recalls.
A Taycan driver will have no advance warning if the battery has trouble.
Due to previous recalls, Porsche had been monitoring the Taycans and in September determined a recall was required.
Porsche says the battery fire risk final repair will likely occur in the first quarter of 2025. Porsche dealers will install diagnostic software and will monitor vehicle data and contact Taycan owners if needed. Those owners will be told to charge the battery to only 80% until the batteries can be replaced.
"For vehicles in which online data is unavailable, dealers will perform a diagnostic test 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
