2022-2023 Porsche Taycan electric car recalled due to fire risk

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.”

Drive has contacted Porsche Australia to find out if any Taycan vehicles have been impacted locally. This story will be updated with its response.
