PORSCHE Taycan (Y1A/Y1B/Y1C) (2018–2024)
What the hazard is
A vehicle fire could increase the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants, other road users and bystanders, and/or damage to property.
What to do
Owners of affected vehicles can contact their preferred Official Porsche Centre to arrange an initial check of the battery modules. If the check result shows no defects, the vehicle requires no further action. If the check result shows a possible defect, Porsche will arrange the repair of their vehicle, free of charge. Owners can find their nearest Porsche dealer at https://www.porsche.com/australia/dealersearch/ Until the check is completed, we urgently ask owners to temporarily charge the high-voltage battery to a maximum of 80%. This minimises the potential risk described above and also protects the battery. Additionally, owners should contact their Official Porsche Centre, as it may be possible for the check be carried out via over-the-air services, without the need for a workshop visit.
Defect
Due to a manufacturing issue, the cell modules installed in the high voltage battery may be defective. A short circuit could cause a thermal overload and result in a vehicle fire over time. The potential defect can be determined with an initial check.
