Summary
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Audi) is recalling certain 2022-2024 E-TRON GT, and RS E-TRON GT vehicles. The high-voltage battery may experience a short circuit within the battery module.
Consequence
A short circuit in a high-voltage battery module increases the risk of a fire.
Remedy
Dealers will install advanced diagnostic software as the final remedy free of charge.
For vehicles where on-line data is available (Audi recall number 931A), as an interim measure, the vehicles will be monitored
through online data evaluation at no cost to owners. Where the online data shows a potentially critical battery module, the owner
will be contacted and advised to only charge the vehicle up to 80% charging capacity until the affected module can be replaced at
an authorized Audi dealer, free of charge.
For vehicles where online-data is not available (Audi recall number 931B), as an interim measure, dealers will perform diagnostic
procedures and, if necessary, replace battery module assemblies, free of charge. Owners of these vehicles will also be advised to
only charge their vehicle up to 80% charging capacity, and the inspection may have to be repeated before the software becomes
available.
Owner notification letters were mailed to Audi recall number 931A on July 24, 2025, and 931B was mailed on July 28, 2025. Owners may contact Audi customer service at 1-800-253-2834.
