Porsche Recalls 27,720 Taycan EVs Due to Battery Module Risk

TapTechNews October 9th news, Porsche announced the recall of 27,720 2020-2024 Taycan electric vehicles, because there may be a short-circuit risk in the battery module. Porsche suggests that some car owners limit the charging upper limit to 80% until the repair is completed, and the repair is expected to start in the first quarter of 2025.

According to TapTechNews, the affected Taycan models were produced between October 21, 2019 and February 1, 2024, and all are equipped with battery packs manufactured by LG in Poland.

The final solution will not be available until the first quarter of 2025, meaning that car owners have to wait at least three months to completely repair their electric vehicles. During this period, Porsche will monitor the affected Taycan through remote or local dealers and notify the car owners who need to limit the charging capacity.

Porsche will inspect the battery modules of all affected Taycan to detect possible defects. Once an abnormality is found, Porsche will replace the faulty high-voltage battery module for free.

In addition, the company will also install on-board diagnostic software for detecting battery abnormalities. If the system detects a new problem, a warning message will be displayed to the driver and the charging capacity will be automatically limited to 80% or even less than 50% until the faulty module is repaired.

The affected Porsche Taycan car owners will receive a mail notification starting from November 29, 2024.
