Your Audi's high-voltage battery is the power source that gets your vehicle moving. In some 2022-2024 E-TRON GT and RS E-TRON GT models, the battery may develop a short circuit.
Risk if Unfixed
If the battery module short circuits, it could catch fire, posing a serious risk to your safety and the safety of those around you.
Free Fix
Your Audi dealer will either install special software to monitor the battery's health (for free) or replace the faulty battery module assembly (also free). If your vehicle is not connected to their system, they'll perform a diagnostic test and replace the module if needed. You should limit your charging to 80% capacity until the issue is resolved.
