Porsche Taycan high-voltage battery may short circuit critical
Porsche is recalling certain Taycan models because the high-voltage battery may develop a short circuit within its battery modules.
Porsche portable charging cable and outlet can overheat critical
Porsche is recalling a number of electric and plug-in hybrid models, including the Taycan, Cayenne E-Hybrid and Panamera 4S E-Hybrid. When the compact charging system is used with its industrial 220-volt or 240-volt plug at the 100 percent charge setting, some home outlets cannot handle the electrical current the system needs. The outlet or the charging cable can then overheat. Dealers will supply a new 220-volt/240-volt portable charging cable with a built-in temperature sensor, free of charge.
Porsche Taycan passenger seat belt warning does not work medium
Porsche is recalling certain Taycan vehicles. When someone is sitting in the passenger seat without the seat belt fastened, the seat belt warning light and the reminder chime do not come on the way they are supposed to. Because of this, these vehicles do not meet the federal government's safety standard covering occupant crash protection. Dealers will update the software in the instrument cluster, the display area behind the steering wheel, free of charge.
