2021 Porsche Taycan

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, a software problem could cause the rearview camera image not to appear on the display. Canadian regulations require the rearview image to display when the transmission is shifted into reverse gear.  

Safety Risk: 
A rearview camera image that doesn't display could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash.  

Corrective Actions: 
Porsche will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the driver assistance system control unit software.

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the recall repairs completed by a Porsche dealer during recall APA7 (Transport Canada recall no. 2023-313) may not be effective. As a result, a second repair may be required. 

On certain vehicles, the high-voltage electric heater could fail. If this happens, you may experience reduced cabin heat, and the windshield defrost system may not work properly. 
Note: This recall replaces Transport Canada recall no. 2023-313. 

Safety Risk: 
A windshield defroster that doesn't work may cause reduced visibility and increase the risk of a crash. 

Corrective Actions: 
Porsche will notify owners by mail. For certain vehicles, as an interim repair, Porsche will advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the passenger compartment high-voltage electric heater with a new part of the same design. When the final repairs are available, Porsche will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the passenger compartment high-voltage electric heater with an improved part.

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, there could be a problem inside the high-voltage battery. As a result, the battery modules could overheat and short circuit. 
Note: This recall is an expansion of Transport Canada recall nos. 2023-661, 2024-180 and 2024-181. Certain vehicles that were repaired under these recalls also require this repair. 

Safety Risk: 
A short circuit in the high-voltage battery can create a fire risk. 

Corrective Actions: 
To reduce the safety risk, Porsche recommends that you set the maximum charge setting of your vehicle at 80% until the recall repairs are completed. Porsche will notify owners by mail.
