Possible Causes
Impact from vehicle or object, Over-tightened mounting screws causing stress cracks, UV degradation of plastic over time, Vandalism or accidental damage
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: If cracks are near cable entries or seals, water ingress and electrical hazards are possible. Turn off power at the breaker.
- Assess crack location: If cracks are superficial and away from electrical parts, the unit may still be safe temporarily, but should be monitored.
- Check for movement: Gently push the housing; if it flexes or opens at the crack, do not use the charger until repaired.
- Technician evaluation: A technician should inspect internal components for damage and determine whether the housing must be replaced.
- Replace housing: If structural integrity or IP rating is compromised, replace the outer housing or complete wallbox enclosure using Porsche-approved parts.
