Porsche has recalled around 43,000 Taycan and Taycan Cross Turismo electric vehicles globally because of a sudden power loss problem. Taycan owners are required to bring their EVs to a dealership to get an hour-long software update. There will be no over-the-air option this time. But the German automaker said you can still continue driving the car until the update is ready. Models that are rolling off the line no longer have this issue.

The recall was prompted by an NHTSA investigation of nine incidents where power shut off while the vehicles were in motion. Six of them refused to restart. Porsche discovered the problem in 130 cars after conducting its investigation. There haven't been reports of collision or injuries, at least.
