According to NHTSA filings, the batteries in Taycans and E-Tron GTs may have insufficient sealant, allowing water ingress.
The recall covers 4777 Taycans and 1899 E-Trons in the U.S. and Canada, all of which were built between September 2022 and last month. Of those cars, Porsche and Audi estimate 3 percent are affected. Dealer notifications went out last week, while both Porsche and Audi will notify customers of the recall on October 31. The fix involves taking the car to a dealer to have the battery sealant inspected. If it's deemed to be insufficient, the battery will be replaced entirely.
In its recall notice, submitted to NHTSA on September 1, Porsche says it began receiving reports of insufficient insulation values in March 2023, and a month later, determined that one U.S.-market car was affected. Two further U.S. Taycans were found to have insufficient sealant after a dashboard warning message prompted owners to bring cars to dealers for examination. Audi has no reports of U.S. cars with issues, the filing says.
After thorough review, we’ve determined that, in a small number of cases, there is a chance of moisture entering the car’s battery pack. If this occurs, the driver will be alerted first via a yellow caution light, followed by a red warning symbol in the car’s display. As a result, and through an abundance of caution, we are planning to recall the affected cars, built between September 22nd, 2022 and August 3rd 2023, to test the battery seal.
The automaker says there are no reports of either a Taycan or E-Tron catching fire as a result of this issue. It's illegal for a dealer to sell a car with an open recall until the issue is remedied. It's unclear if Porsche dealers will be able to perform the recall before the October 31 owner notification date. Affected customers will be notified shortly and new cars yet to reach their owners will be checked before they’re delivered.
