What's wrong, in plain English

In these vehicles, the high voltage battery may not have enough sealant applied during manufacturing. Without enough sealant, liquid can get into the battery and build up inside it over time. This buildup of liquid inside the battery can cause electrical arcing. Dealers will test each vehicle's battery for leaks and replace the battery if needed, at no cost to the owner.

What you should do

1. Check your vehicle's VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if it's affected.
2. Contact a Porsche dealer, or call Porsche customer service at 1-800-767-7243, to schedule an inspection.
3. The battery will be tested, and replaced if necessary, free of charge.

Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 23V615000.
