Narrative

On April 14, 2025, I suffered an electric shock injury while using the Porsche Mobile Charger Plus (Part No. 9J1.971.675.AC; Model PMCPU96A) that came with my 2022 Porsche Taycan, purchased as a Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicle on April 5, 2025, from Braman Porsche in Florida. The injury required emergency medical care and hospitalization. I continue to experience symptoms and am undergoing physical therapy and cardiology follow-up. After the incident, I learned that multiple NHTSA safety recalls and technical bulletins (e.g., 23V-841, APB6, ARB5, ARB7) were already active at the time of sale, affecting both the vehicle and charger. These bulletins cite overheating and internal defects that may cause safety hazards during charging. Despite the vehicle being sold under the Porsche CPO program, no recall was disclosed to me at the time of purchase. The dealership later returned a different charger than the one originally supplied, but I retained the original unit that caused the shock. I am preserving it for potential forensic examination. I am filing this complaint to request that NHTSA investigate the Porsche Mobile Charger Plus and the dealership’s sale of vehicles with open safety recalls. This appears to be a serious and ongoing risk to consumer safety.
