Audi India has issued a voluntary recall for 31 units of its e-tron GT and RS e-tron GT electric vehicles, manufactured between January 9, 2020, and February 16, 2024. This recall is due to potential irregularities in the high-voltage battery module, which could result in a fire hazard. The affected vehicles may have individual cell modules within the battery pack that display technical issues, leading to overheating and posing an acute risk of fire.
Audi has identified that certain battery modules, supplied by a third-party vendor, may have manufacturing irregularities. If these issues arise, there is a possibility of the battery overheating, which could endanger the occupants of the vehicle, those nearby, and even cause property damage.
The e-tron GT and RS e-tron GT are completely built units (CBU) in India, and Audi is expected to notify affected customers directly to resolve the issue. Audi India has emphasized that the recall is a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of its customers.
