Asian Tech Press -- Porsche (China) Motors has recently recalled 5,957 imported Taycan electric vehicles due to software issues, China's market regulator announced on its website on Friday.

According to the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR), Porsche AG's Chinese subsidiary has filed a recall plan with the regulator in accordance with the vehicle recall regulations.

With immediate effect, the company started to recall some imported 2020 and 2021 Taycan electric vehicles produced between January 7, 2020 and June 28, 2021, totaling 5,957 units.

The announcement said that due to the software problem of the electronic control, the recalled electric vehicles may lead to a communication failure of the power electronics, causing the pulse vehicle inverter not to work properly.
