5 recalls covering model years 2021. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls — a recall may apply only to some vehicles of a given year.
The large battery that powers your electric Porsche is built from modules, and one of those modules can short out inside. A short circuit in a battery like this can start a fire. Until the car is repaired, Porsche is telling owners to charge only up to 80 percent of full. At the dealer, technicians will read the battery's data and replace any modules that turn out to be bad. The check and any replacement parts cost you nothing.
The large high-voltage battery that powers these electric Taycans can short circuit inside one of its modules. A short circuit can start a fire. Until the repair is finished, Porsche tells owners to charge the car no higher than 80 percent of its capacity. Dealers replace the affected battery modules at no cost to you. Owner notification letters were mailed in October 2024, so many owners have already been contacted about this repair.
Some of these electric and plug-in hybrid Porsches came with a portable 220/240-volt charging cable. If you plug it into a home outlet that cannot handle that much electricity and charge to 100%, the outlet or the cable can get very hot. That heat can start a fire. Porsche says to stop using that cable for now and charge with the 110-volt home cable or a public charging station instead.
Porsche is recalling certain 2021-2023 Taycan models, including the 4S, Turbo, Turbo S, GTS and Cross Turismo versions. The large battery pack that powers these electric cars can develop a short circuit inside one of its modules, an electrical fault where current takes the wrong path. That can create enough heat to start a fire. Your dealer will check the battery and replace any bad modules at no cost to you.
When someone sits in a seat without buckling up, the car is supposed to show a warning light and sound a chime. On these cars that reminder does not come on for an unbelted passenger the way it should, which does not meet the federal safety rule for occupant protection. That means a passenger may not be reminded to buckle, and an unbelted person is far more likely to be hurt in a crash. Dealers update the instrument cluster software for free.
