The Porsche Taycan vehicles affected by this recall were manufactured between 3 July 2018 and 4 March 2024.

Porsche recall code: ARA4, ARA5, ARB5, ARB6

Specification of the defect 24. 1. 2025:
A combination of production issues (such as a torn anode tab, a folded cathode tab, a peeled-off cathode or a double production topic pouch crack) was found in some of the batteries’ high-voltage modules.
