Article in todays papers (autoexpress, autocar, insideevs, driving electric etc), anybody confirm this. Have checked my VIN on Porsche website no recall showing yet.
Porsche recalls its £70,000 Taycan electric sports car over sudden power loss that happens without warning
Some 43,000 Taycan models are affected - some 4,500 of them are in the UK
The software issue only impacts cars built before June 2021, Porsche says
While there is a sudden loss of drive, users will still be able to operate the steering and brakes to safely bring the vehicle to a standstill
Turning the car off and on again resets the issue to allow drivers to continue journeys - Porsche dealers will be conducted the one-hour recalls at dealers
Luxury vehicle manufacturer Porsche has issued a recall for thousands of its electric Taycan sports cars over faulty software that can cause the £70,000 EV to suddenly shut down, it said on Friday.
The recall affects all Taycan vehicles produced and delivered before June, bosses have confirmed, adding the cars would receive a software update to fix the issue.
A glitch in the electronics can cause a sudden loss of power and a dashboard warning urging the driver to find a safe place to stop.
Around 4,500 cars in the UK are estimated to be affected and require a recall.
While there's a complete loss of power, drivers can still steer and brake the expensive electric vehicle to a halt.
Porsche says that once the vehicle is safely stopped, turned off and restarted, it will operate normally again - but has issued a recall for the 43,000 models produced before the start of last month.
