Porsche Taycan: Cell defects in the high-voltage battery

31/01/2024

Porsche is recalling 858 Taycan vehicles manufactured between 2021 and 2024 to authorised workshops worldwide. The reason for the recall is that the cell defects in the high-voltage battery can lead to a short circuit and, subsequently, to a fire.

At the authorised workshop the affected battery module on the high-voltage battery must be replaced.

The KBA monitors the recall under the reference number “013423“. The internal manufacturer code is “APB5“.
