- The defect
- Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (Porsche) is recalling various models and model years. Please see the recall report for a list of the included vehicles. When using the industrial 220V/240V plug at the 100% charge setting, some home power outlets may be incapable of handling the electrical current required to utilize the compact charging system, causing the outlet or charging cable to overheat.
- What it can cause
- An overheated outlet or charging cable can increase the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Owners are advised not to use the 220V/240V compact/portable charging cable and only use the 110V home charging cable or public charging stations. Dealers will supply a new 220V/240V compact/portable charging cable with an incorporated temperature sensor, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on October 24, 2024. A second notice will be sent once remedy parts become available, anticipated mid-2024. Owners may contact Porsche customer service at 1-800-767-7243. Porsche's number for this recall is APB6.
- 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 41,345 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 88% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2019 to 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were 4 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Porsche vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 14 times before this, most recently in December 2023 as 23V813000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 4 of the 60 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 176 complaints with NHTSA, 93 of them before this campaign was filed. 88 of those name the electrical system, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in March 2021, 2 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 25 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 December 13, 2023 as campaign 23V841000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
