What are the defects?
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.
What are the hazards?
A vehicle fire could increase the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants, other road users and bystanders, and/or damage to property.
What should consumers do?
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.
