What's wrong?
The high-voltage battery in affected 2023 Porsche Taycan vehicles stores the energy that powers the electric drive system. Its battery housing is supposed to stay sealed so liquid stays out and the electrical insulation inside the pack keeps high-voltage parts separated from the vehicle body.
On these vehicles, the original Teroson sealant on the battery was not sufficient. Liquid can enter the battery and collect inside the housing, which reduces insulation resistance, a measure of how well the high-voltage system is isolated. Porsche traced the issue to the sealant used in the affected production period, and the remedy uses an enhanced Teroson sealant.
Owners get warning messages before the condition progresses. A yellow warning message appears after the insulation resistance drops below a set threshold over time; if the value keeps dropping, a red warning message appears. Treat either warning as a sign that the battery needs dealer inspection.
Who's affected?
Covers Taycan, Cross Turismo, and Sport Turismo variants, all tied to the high-voltage traction battery.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific vehicle.
What's the safety risk?
Liquid in the high voltage battery creates electrical arcing and increases fire risk. A yellow warning message appears if insulation resistance drops, followed by a red warning message if it keeps dropping. If either warning appears, park safely and call a Porsche dealer before continuing. Repair will be free at any franchised Porsche dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2023 Porsche Taycan, Taycan 4S, Taycan Turbo, Taycan Turbo S, Taycan GTS, Taycan Cross Turismo, Taycan 4 Cross Turismo, Taycan 4S Cross Turismo, Taycan Turbo S Cross Turi, or Taycan GTS Sport Turismo is included in this recall.
- Review the Porsche owner letter for recall number 23V615 before arranging service.
- Contact a franchised Porsche dealer for guidance on the free high-voltage battery leak test and battery replacement if leakage is found.
- Ask Porsche customer service at 1-800-767-7243 about the repair status if your dealer has not opened appointments.
- Park and charge with extra care until Porsche or the dealer gives vehicle-specific instructions, because liquid in the high-voltage battery can lead to electrical arcing and fire risk.
What happens at the repair
Once Porsche opens the dealer remedy, a Porsche technician will test the high-voltage battery for leakage and replace the battery if leakage is found. Parts and labor will be covered under the recall once that repair is available. Out-of-pocket repairs already paid are handled through the Porsche New Car Limited Warranty, not through a separate reimbursement program, because the affected vehicles are still under warranty. Ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork.

What should I do if my 2023 Porsche Taycan is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific Taycan is included in recall 23V615. If it is, contact a franchised Porsche dealer and reference recall APB2. Ask whether the battery leak test and any needed battery replacement are open for your VIN. The repair is free.
Is the recall repair free?

Is it safe to drive my 2023 Porsche Taycan before the recall repair?
This recall does not include a do-not-drive order. The safety risk is liquid accumulation in the high-voltage battery, which can cause electrical arcing and increase fire risk. Confirm your VIN, then ask the Porsche dealer for model-specific guidance before regular driving.
What if I bought my Porsche Taycan used?
The free recall repair still applies. Federal recall law follows the vehicle, not the first owner. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific 2023 Taycan is included, then reference recall 23V615 or Porsche recall APB2 when you call a franchised Porsche dealer.
