Issue

Issue:
On certain vehicles, there could be a problem inside the high-voltage battery. As a result, the battery modules could overheat and short circuit.
Note: This recall replaces Transport Canada recall no. 2024-189. Vehicles that were repaired under that recall also require this repair.

Safety Risk:
A short circuit in the high-voltage battery can create a fire risk.

Corrective Actions:
To reduce the safety risk, Audi recommends that you set the maximum charge setting of your vehicle at 80% until the recall repairs are completed. Audi will notify owners by mail. As an interim repair, a dealer will inspect and, if necessary, replace the high-voltage battery modules. Once the final repair is available, Audi will notify you by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to install an advanced diagnostic software that will monitor the high-voltage battery and warn you if it detects a problem.
