According to Porsche:
"If liquid enters the battery, a drop in insulation resistance results. If the insulation resistance value drops below a defined threshold over time, a yellow warning message is displayed in the vehicle. If the insulation value continues to drop below a defined threshold over time, a red warning message is displayed in the vehicle."
Porsche learned of battery problems outside the U.S. in 2022 regarding liquid intrusion into the batteries, but no fires were reported. The supplier began adding Teroson sealant during battery production which stopped the liquid from affecting the batteries.
But that still left the original batteries that did not have enough Teroson sealant. Reports came in from U.S. Taycan owners about liquid in the batteries, but no fires or other thermal events were reported.
However, this was enough for Porsche to announce this Taycan recall for vehicles with the original Teroson sealant.
Porsche dealers will test the batteries for leakage and replace any damaged batteries once owner recall letters are mailed October 31, 2023.
