Porsche recalls EVs in Vietnam for battery check over fire risk
VOV.VN - German car manufacturer Porsche has decided to recall its electric vehicle model Porsche Taycan 4S in Vietnam for a battery check.
The recall applies to Porsche Taycans manufactured from September 22, 2022 to August 28, 2023 2023.
Two other Porsche models, Taycan GTS and Taycan 4 Cross Turismo, were also recalled globally for the same reason.
The recall notices were announced by Porsche AG (Germany) over an issue with the seal between the battery casing and battery cover potentially being hazardous to leaking. This error will cause the battery to lose performance and cause many other risks.
Porsche Vietnam recommended that car owners should immediately contact the nearest Porsche Center for assistance. If not repaired promptly, the vehicle may experience a short circuit, increasing the risk of overheating and fire.
The repair time for each Porsche Taycan 4S takes about 4 hours. The recall programme lasts until December 21, 2025.
Porsche Taycan is Porsche’s first battery-powered EV, launched in the Vietnamese market in October 2020. Currently, three of this EV Taycan 4S, Taycan Turbo, Taycan Turbo S are available in Vietnam, costing VND5.14 billion, VND7.13 billion and VND8.5 billion, respectively.
