An official CAA Japan notice concerns Passenger cars (Porsche Taycan and 5 other models) - Repair. High-voltage equipment (high-voltage battery module) defect. ■ Defective component: High-voltage equipment (high-voltage battery module). ■ Condition of the structure, equipment or performance considered noncompliant with standards, and its cause: Some high-voltage batteries contain improperly manufactured battery modules. This may cause an internal short circuit in a battery module and, in the worst case, a thermal abnormality in the battery that could lead to a fire. Published 2024-12-06.

What to do now

(Recall) 外-3915. ■ Corrective measures: Inspect all vehicles via OTA or using a dedicated tester and replace battery modules found to be abnormal with sound parts. Also install a corrective program with a vehicle self-diagnostic function using a dedicated tester. However, because preparing the program will take time, as an interim measure, ask users to bring their vehicles in for regular battery inspections and instruct them to limit the charge level to 80%.
