2022-2023 Porsche Taycan electric car recalled due to fire risk
The high-performance Porsche Taycan electric car is being recalled in Australia because the batteries could catch fire due to a manufacturing fault.
Risk of a fire has triggered a recall of the Porsche Taycan electric car in Australia.
The 231 affected vehicles are stamped Model Years 2022-2023. All variants are impacted by the recall.
“Due to a manufacturing issue, there is a possibility of insufficient sealing between the high voltage battery casing and battery cover,” the recall notice says.
“This could lead to moisture entering the high voltage battery … If a sufficient amount of moisture enters the high-voltage battery arcing can occur, which increases the risk of fire causing injury or death to vehicle occupants, other road users or bystanders.
“Owners of affected vehicles can contact their preferred Official Porsche Centre to arrange an inspection and repair of their vehicle, free of charge.”
