What's wrong?
The cell block module is part of the high-voltage battery in the 2020-2023 Porsche Taycan. That battery stores the electric power used by the drive system, and each module holds groups of cells that must stay electrically separated and controlled. When the modules work normally, power moves through the battery pack in a managed path.
On affected Taycans, supplier production issues inside the battery modules can increase the risk of an internal short circuit. A short circuit means electricity travels through a path it was not designed to use inside the module. Porsche identified these vehicles through battery data analysis and hardware reviews, then traced the concern to production clusters in the high-voltage battery modules.
There is no warning sign before failure. The recall filing says there are no warnings, so owners should not expect a light, message, sound, or drivability change before the module shorts.
Who's affected?
The scope is split between the high-voltage traction battery and electrical system software, both tied to the battery cell block module.

What's the safety risk?
A short circuit in the high-voltage battery increases the risk of a fire. There is no warning sign before failure. Until the repair is complete, charge the vehicle only to 80% battery capacity and schedule service soon. Repair is free at any franchised Porsche dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2020-2023 Porsche Taycan is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Porsche dealer to schedule the free high-voltage battery module replacement that addresses the short-circuit fire risk.
- Limit charging to 80% battery capacity until the repair is complete.
- Bring the recall notice if Porsche mailed one. If not, reference recall number 24V731 when you call.
- Tell the dealer if the vehicle was repaired under recalls 23V-840, 24V-215, or 24V-217; those vehicles still need the new remedy.
What happens at the repair
Until the recall repair is complete, charge the Taycan only to 80% battery capacity. At the dealer, a Porsche technician replaces the affected high-voltage battery modules. Parts and labor are free under the recall, and vehicles repaired under the earlier related recalls still need this new remedy completed. If you already paid for a related repair before the owner notice, Porsche's standard reimbursement plan covers eligible documented expenses. Ask Porsche customer service or the dealer service desk what documentation to submit.
