Is the 2023 Audi e-tron GT recalled in the UK or Europe?
Recalls issued by the UK's DVSA and through the EU's Safety Gate system that cover this model and build period. European models can differ from U.S. ones, and "years estimated" means the recall gave no build dates, so confirm your own car with your registration or VIN.
UK DVSACheck high-voltage battery
Risk: Some individual modules of the high-voltage battery may display technical irregularities. It cannot be ruled out that the battery may overheat under certain circumstances. For safety reasons affected cell modules must be replaced during a workshop visit. Vehicles affected by this should also not be charged above 80% until further notice.
Fix: The high-voltage battery must be checked on the affected vehicles and if necessary one or more modules must be replaced.
UK DVSAReplace battery module
Risk: Some individual cell modules of the high-voltage battery may display technical irregularities. It cannot be ruled out that the battery may overheat under certain circumstances with risk of fire and damage to persons or property.
Fix: Vehicles affected by this should also not be charged above 80% until further notice. Affected cell modules must be replaced during a workshop visit. The corresponding battery module must be replaced on the vehicles affected.
UK DVSAReplacing brake hoses
Risk: On affected vehicles cracks may occur on the brake hoses on the front axle over time resulting in brake fluid escaping.
Fix: Replace the front axle brake hoses.
UK DVSAChecking high-voltage battery
Risk: Deviations to various important parameters were discovered on the affected battery modules. These may result in the affected battery modules becoming defective over the course of the vehicle’s service life. In turn this represents a fire hazard with the associated risk of severe or fatal injuries to people inside and/or outside the vehicle as well as significant material damage.
Fix: Check and if necessary replace individual modules of the high-voltage battery. To minimise this risk the manufacturer advises that you limit the charging target to 80 percent capacity until the inspection has been carried out. This significantly reduces the load on the battery during charging. You can adjust this setting in the Charging target menu in the MMI or in the ’myAudi’ app. As this setting may change during vehicle use the current value must always be checked prior to charging the vehicle and set to a maximum of 80 percent if necessary. Additionally until the inspection has been completed the manufacturer advises not to charge the vehicle under cover and or to ensure the vehicle is not parked adjacent to or under buildings.

While I was driving my Audi e-tron GT, the vehicle spontaneously caught fire. I believe the fire resulted from a catastrophic high-voltage battery failure, although the cause has not yet been confirmed. The fire created an immediate risk of injury to me and others nearby. I am reporting this as a serious safety concern.

I own a 2023 Audi e-tron GT Premium Plus, VIN [XXX]. The vehicle was included in NHTSA Recall 24V726 / Audi Recall 931A concerning high-voltage battery modules that may internally short and create a fire risk. Audi previously completed the 931A remedy by installing the advanced HV battery monitoring software. After the recall remedy was completed, the vehicle displayed an Electrical System Malfunction and the Battery Energy Module reported: “Hybrid/high-voltage battery – Cell module 20 faulty.” I have photographic evidence of this fault, although I later cleared the DTC. Audi’s 24V726…
While driving my children to school, the vehicle suffered a sudden and complete electrical malfunction in the middle of moving traffic. The vehicle began violently rising and falling. It became inoperable and stopped in the roadway. The door locks failed and would not release — my children were trapped inside a disabled vehicle in live traffic. The only opening that would function was the driver's window. I had to pull my children out through the driver's side window, one at a time, into the road, with traffic around us, in order to get them out of the car. That is not an inconvenience or a…
The Audi e-tron GT contains a design defect where the 12v battery cannot be charged in the event it becomes depleted. The battery is stored in the front trunk, but this can only be opened when the car has electrical power - there is no manual release. This leaves the vehicle immobilized to the point it must be towed to a dealer using special equipment because the four wheel drive train is locked in position when de-powered. This is a safety issue because it will leave a driver unexpectedly stranded in a remote location or otherwise unable to use their vehicle in an emergency situation. There…
I am submitting this complaint regarding Audi’s continued failure to complete an active safety recall repair on my vehicle despite extended possession of the car and multiple representations that required parts were available or imminent. My vehicle has been continuously out of service for over four months while awaiting completion of a battery recall repair. During this time, Audi and the authorized dealership have repeatedly provided estimated timelines for repair completion based on expected parts deliveries. These timelines have consistently been missed. Most recently, Audi corporate…
My 2023 Audi e-Tron GT has been subject to a recall since September 30, 2024 for possible fire risks associated with its electric batteries, yet Audi still has not announced a solution in the past seven months. Instead, Audi recommends charging the battery to not more than 80% capacity, which significantly limits the vehicle's range. Why has AUdi not been pushed to either fix the problem or compensate owners of affected vehicle, and what is the NHTSA doing about it?
The contact leased a 2023 Audi E-Tron GT. The contact stated that the message that the battery power was reduced to 70 percent was displayed. The contact stated that the battery failed to charge above 70 percent. The reduced performance warning light was illuminated. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V726000 (Electrical System); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall…
There is an outstanding recall on my vehicle and Audi are not able to complete the recall for over 30 days. I am currently only able to charge the car to 70% for concern that the vehicle will catch fire. As a result the range of the vehicle has been reduced. I have contacted AudiUSA, who said it is not their issue but rather a problem with my dealer. My car's range has been reduced to 120 miles.
The contact owns a 2023 Audi E-Tron GT. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V842000 (Electrical System) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.
Multiple alerts reported by the car's system for electrical malfunction and steering wheel dysfunction. These alerts keep coming at least 3 times a week. Car has been to the dealership, Audi of Raleigh who has inspected the car 3 times and unable to find the problem. It would seem that the elctric malfunction and steering malfunction would be safety risks to keep driving the car

Counts are a starting point, not a verdict: popular models collect more complaints because more of them are on the road, and NHTSA does not verify individual reports. To see whether a recall is still open on your car, enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls (U.S.) or your registration at check-vehicle-recalls.service.gov.uk (UK). Had a safety problem? Report it to NHTSA; complaints are what trigger investigations and recalls.
