Porsche Cars North America Inc. released a recall notice for its Taycan electric car units. Based on the reports, the company issued the recall due to the risk of a short circuit caused by the battery.
Porsche recalls 749 all-electric Taycan units with model years from 2021 to 2024. To be more exact, the automaker needs to fix its Taycan, Taycan 4S, and Taycan Cross Turismo because their high-voltage batteries could short-circuit at any time.
LG Energy EV Battery on Porsche
As per Auto Evolution, the recall for Porche EVs with battery issues started in 2021. The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reportedly informed the company about a battery fire incident. The case involved a fire that erupted after the car was charged.
In 2023, Porsche was said to have been notified of new battery fires that occurred after charging. LG Chem's subsidiary in Poland supplied the batteries used on the Porsche EVs, LG Energy Solution Wrocław.
As the investigation of the incidents continued, Porche expanded the recall to include additional vehicles. In the first notification letters to affected unit owners, the company advised drivers not to charge their cars more than 80% of the battery's capacity.
Expanded Recall of EVs
In any case, the latest recall is still connected to the previous incidents. It covers the Taycan all-electric vehicles made from 2021 to this year for the same reason of high-voltage battery short-circuiting risk.
Teslarati reported that Porsche stated in its NHTSA safety recall, "certain Taycan high-voltage batteries experience short circuits within the battery modules, which can lead to thermal events and in some cases fires."
To fix the problem, Porsche dealers will examine the battery data that customers can access and then check if they must be replaced. Meanwhile, Porsche Taycan models made after March 4 this year are not included in the recall. Owners will also be notified of the recall through mail by May 17.
