Potential Number of Units Affected 41,345

 

Summary

PorscheeBay logo Cars North America, Inc. (PorscheeBay logo) is recalling various models and model years. Please see the recall report for a list of the included vehicles. When using the industrial 220V/240V plug at the 100% charge setting, some home power outlets may be incapable of handling the electrical current required to utilize the compact charging system, causing the outlet or charging cable to overheat.

 

Remedy

Owners are advised not to use the 220V/240V compact/portable charging cable and only use the 110V home charging cable or public charging stations. Dealers will supply a new 220V/240V compact/portable charging cable with an incorporated temperature sensor, free of charge. Interim owner notification letters explaining the safety risk are expected to be mailed February 9, 2024. A second notice will be sent once remedy parts become available, anticipated mid-2024. Owners may contact PorscheeBay logo customer service at 1-800-767-7243. PorscheeBay logo’s number for this recall is APB6.

Chronology :

In Dec. 2020 PorscheeBay logo became aware of reports that the charging cables for certain Taycan vehicles would become hot during vehicle charging. PorscheeBay logo investigated this issue and determined that the charging cable worked properly when new, but when used in connection with certain non-recommended lower quality electrical outlets, the cable could become damaged.

In May 2022, PorscheeBay logo notified owners and implemented a service campaign (WMP2) with a software modification to reduce the default charging capacity of the cables by 50% to address this issue. Further information, recommendations, and cautions were provided regarding the appropriate electrical sockets to use.

In June 2023, PorscheeBay logo became aware of further instances of overheating in Taycan charging cables, even with the power reduction. PorscheeBay logo investigated this issue and determined that, even though the NEMA plug in the charging cable meets UL household use criteria, if it is used with a lower quality electrical receptacle, it can become permanently damaged, such that even when used with a recommended outlet, there could be elevated electrical resistance. More specifically, the connector crimps in the cable could be damaged due to overheating, leading to further increased electrical resistance and elevated temperatures. PorscheeBay logo further determined that a new plug with an incorporated temperature sensor would eliminate this issue.

In late 2023, upon further review of the issue and the latest field data, PorscheeBay logo identified 110 incidents of mobile charger malfunctions attributable to the subject issue. On December 6, PorscheeBay logo determined that it would supersede the WMP2 Service Campaign and conduct a safety recall to replace the subject mobile chargers.
