- The defect
- Porsche Cars North America, Inc.

The high-voltage battery may have an insufficient amount of sealant, which can allow liquid to accumulate in the battery.
- What it can cause
- Liquid accumulation in the high voltage battery can cause electrical arcing, increasing the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will test the battery for leakage and replace the battery as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed October 31, 2023. Owners may contact Porsche's customer service at 1-800-767-7243. Porsche's number for this recall is APB2.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 4,777 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 74% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2023, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2023, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Porsche vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 12 times before this, most recently in March 2023 as 23V176000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 1 of the 10 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 19 complaints with NHTSA. 9 of those name the electrical system, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 10 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V896000 (back over prevention), 25V221000 (air bags), 24V732000 (electrical system), 24V731000 (electrical system).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Porsche Cars North America, Inc. with NHTSA on September 1, 2023 as campaign 23V615000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
