Shortly after Porsche was forced to recall nearly 28,000 Taycans in the United States due to a potential short circuit in the battery, Audi did the same with the mechanically related e-tron GT and RS e-tron GT models, for the same reason.
Audi announced that the 2022-2024 e-tron GT and RS e-tron GT models are equipped with high-voltage batteries from LG Energy Solution. Owners of affected vehicles will not receive any warning if a short circuit occurs.
This recall is an extension of two battery-related recalls announced for the e-tron GT family back in March. At the time of the March recall, a total of 1,042 units were affected.
A total of 6,499 vehicles in the US are now included in this latest recall. That’s it 4,980 e-tron GT vehicles built between March 26, 2021 and December 22, 2023, as well as 1,519 RS e-tron GT vehicles built between March 18, 2021 and February 15, 2024.
Audi has not received any customer complaints or notices of any injuries, crashes or fires related to this problem.
