active

2020–2024 AUDI e-tron GT, RS GT

Category: Light Vehicle · Supplier: Audi Australia Pty Ltd

Recall date: 4 June 2024

Defect

Due to a manufacturing issue, the cell modules installed in the high voltage battery may be defective. A short circuit could cause a thermal overload and result in a vehicle fire over time. The potential defect can be determined with an initial check.

Hazard

A vehicle fire could increase the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants, other road users and bystanders, and/or damage to property.

Remedy

Owners who have had their vehicle rectified under previous recall REC-005977 must also contact their preferred authorised Audi dealer to the software updated, free of charge. Note: We urgently ask owners to temporarily charge the high-voltage battery to a maximum of 80%. This minimises the potential risk described above and also protects the battery.
