Porsche Taycan to recall all over the world

Posted: Posted:

Sudden power loss, software update required

Even when Porsche is always recalled overseas, the car to be recalled will change depending on each model, model year, country, and even more detailed differences, so even if it is talked about overseas, especially I didn't write about recalls on this blog.

However, regarding this recall of Taycan, it is said that MY20 and MY21 Taycan "about 43,000 units" are targeted worldwide, and it seems that this will account for most of the Taycan that has already been delivered. This time Porsche AG was officially announced in the press for the whole, so I would like to write it.

Taycan was being investigated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in March 2021 (there was an investigation in January, but it is unknown if it is the same as this case).

The problem we were investigating this time was "sudden power loss." In some cases, it was not possible to recover after a power loss.

According to Porsche, it is necessary to update the control electronic equipment of the Taycan's motor generator unit, and this update "prevents false alarms that make you think that the car has broken down even though it is not really broken down, What prevents sudden power loss. "

So, it seems that it was decided to recall to update the software of power electronics and engine control unit to the target Taycan of MY20 and MY21.

The software has already been created and tested in production. (Maybe in Germany?) Many vehicles have already made this update.

Furthermore, since this update will be given to the Taycans who will be delivered in the future before delivery, this problem will disappear at the time of delivery.

It seems that this software update can not be done remotely, so it seems that it will be an update brought to the Porsche Center, and Porsche AG says that it takes about 1 hour.

Those who own the target Taycan may be contacted in the near future.
