Chronology :
In 2021 Porsche became aware of a report of a single vehicle battery fire that occurred shortly after charging. Porsche investigated this incident and began obtaining comparable undamaged batteries from the field for analysis. In 2023, Porsche became aware of further instances of battery fires in Taycan vehicles after charging. Porsche’s investigation to date indicates that repeated overcharging can damage battery cells and eventually lead to short circuits, creating the risk of thermal events and fires. Although Porsche is still investigating the root cause of this issue, on 6 December 2023 it determined that a safety-related defect exists in these vehicles.

Chronology :
In 2021 Porsche became aware of a report of a single vehicle battery fire that occurred shortly after charging. Porsche investigated this incident and began obtaining comparable undamaged batteries from the field for analysis. In 2023, Porsche became aware of further instances of battery fires in Taycan vehicles after charging. Porsche’s investigation to date indicates that repeated overcharging can damage battery cells and eventually lead to short circuits, creating the risk of thermal events and fires. Although Porsche is still investigating the root cause of this issue, on 6 December 2023 it determined that a safety-related defect exists in these vehicles.
Description of Remedy :
Description of Remedy Program : The HV Battery will be checked and affected modules will be replaced.
The owner’s letter will advise that Porsche offers a reimbursement for pre- notification remedies in accordance with 49 CFR 573.13. How Remedy Component Differs from Recalled Component : Identify How/When Recall Condition was Corrected in Production : The vehicles were identified by machine-learning to determine affected clusters in production. Telematics data from vehicles in the field also show real-time battery performance (charge/discharge performance) anomalies in batteries built during the identified clusters. The analysis of the root cause for this issue is ongoing, and this report will be updated as necessary.
Vehicles produced after June 22, 2023 are not subject to this recall. The analyses of the root cause for this issue is ongoing. Recall Schedule :
Description of Recall Schedule : Customers will be notified within 60 days of the filing of this report.
