Taycan recall?
Discussion
According to one YouTube duffer I've seen, maybe in his case.
Fwiw I've not had an issue with home or car insurance yet.
The letter he's referring to is an interesting one. There seem to be a few flavours of it being sent, which I assume will be VIN determined.
Only in one flavour (ARB6) is the advice given not to charge or park the car adjacent to/under buildings.
That one's the worrying one, and if I received it I'd be having words with Porsche.
Most are simply getting a "ensure the car has Internet connectivity and in Q1 they'll be releasing updated monitoring s/w" (or words to that effect). This one is WRS0.
I've also seen posts of ARB5 which I think note not to charge over 80%. That may be US oriented.
This one's not been handled especially well by Porsche on the comms front. But I guess you can take the co out of VAG...

I have an ARB6 notice in front of me and no mention of charging away from buildings.
I believe the difference between ARB?and 6 is if you have a Porsche connect subscription. Under ?, they can connect to your car to monitor. With 6, you have to take the car in.
In ARB6, they provide instructions on how to set max charge to 80% and ask you not to charge to 100%.
I wonder how this will play out if I have failed cells and I’ve charged to 100%. I was planning on using the car for a 500 mile road trip so charged it up. In the end, I used a different car.
Edited to add ? Instead of number because I thought it was 5 but some are reporting 7. It might be country dependent. I’m in the US.

Do you have a scan of the letter? (Is it from Porsche UK?).

Shows a letter that definitely says that.
WRS0, ARB5, ARB6 and ARB7 all seem related.
I've had WRS0. Definitely no charging restrictions on that.

Interesting, sounds like it's worded like the H441 Ipace recalls were.
I understand they're similar LG batteries in both cars. Wonder if it'll have the same effect on residuals...https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/17821870

I am in the US so the wording is likely different.
The letter is on line but the official site has it scrambled. Apparently, the remedy the dealers have been told is to remove the battery and ship it to a third party to repair. The letter I have says it will take 5 days or more.

t show if the same recall notice (ARB6) gets different treatments...U guess dependent on who is most likely to sue 
We'll see what happens I guess.
