What's wrong, in plain English

On certain Porsche Taycan vehicles, the high-voltage battery that powers the car may develop a short circuit inside one of its battery modules. This recall expands and replaces three earlier Taycan battery recalls, so even vehicles already repaired under those earlier recalls will need to have this new repair completed as well.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your vehicle is included.
2. Until the repair is done, charge the battery to no more than 80% capacity.
3. Contact Porsche customer service at 1-800-767-7243 to schedule the free repair.

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

Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. 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 24V731000.
