Porsche Taycan: high voltage battery cell modules may be defective, causing short circuit and thermal risk

Country	Australia
Category	Automotive
Published	2024-12-09
Manufacturer	PORSCHE CARS AUSTRALIA PTY. LTD.
Models affected	Taycan (Y1A / Y1B / Y1C)
Model year	2019 - 2023
Units affected	1001
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 by Porsche using over-the-air data analysis of affected vehicles until the high-voltage battery self-checking software is installed. A vehicle fire could increase the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants, other road users and bystanders, and/or damage to property.
Remedy	Affected vehicles will continue to be monitored by Porsche using over-the-air data analysis. In the event of any identified abnormalities, an Official Porsche Centre will contact owners to arrange to replace affected battery modules.
