In response to potential safety concerns, Audi Australia has issued a recall for 222 units of the e-tron GT, citing a risk of fire due to moisture entering the high-voltage battery. The affected models were produced between 2022 and 2023.
The recall notice from the company explains that a manufacturing issue has led to a potential reduction in the sealing of the high-voltage battery housing over time, allowing moisture to penetrate. This, in turn, may lead to an electrical short circuit, increasing the risk of a fire.
Audi Australia assures affected customers that repairs will be conducted free of charge. Those who own the impacted vehicles will be contacted by Audi Australia and advised to coordinate with their nearest authorized dealer for the necessary repairs.
To check whether their vehicle is part of the recall, owners can refer to the attached VIN list. Additionally, the original recall notice is available for reference.
This precautionary measure aligns with Audi’s commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of its customers. Owners are encouraged to promptly address the recall and take advantage of the provided services to mitigate any potential risks associated with the identified issue.
