The 2022 Porsche Taycan GTS has 5 recalls, the most serious being a high-voltage battery defect where an internal short circuit within the battery modules can cause a fire.
The battery fire risk is the subject of multiple recall filings covering overlapping model years and variants across the Taycan lineup, but the underlying defect is the same: a short circuit can develop inside the battery modules and ignite a fire. On the charging side, there is a separate fire concern when using the compact charging cable with a standard 220V/240V home outlet at the 100% charge setting. If the outlet cannot handle the current draw, both the outlet and the charging cable can overheat, creating a fire risk at the point where the car connects to the wall. The remedy here involves the charging system settings rather than the battery itself, so owners who charge at home using a standard outlet are the ones affected. Rounding out the recalls, the instrument cluster on certain vehicles fails to activate the seatbelt warning light or audible chime when a passenger is unbelted, meaning an unrestrained front passenger receives no prompt to buckle up before a crash.
