The 2022 Audi E-Tron GT has 20 recalls, the most serious involving the high-voltage battery, which can short circuit internally and create a fire risk, and a front suspension strut retaining ring that can come loose and cause sudden loss of handling.
The front axle brake hoses can develop tears that cause brake fluid to leak, reducing braking performance and extending stopping distances. The passenger seat occupant detection system can fault and switch off the front passenger airbag even when someone is seated, and a wiring harness near the center rear seatbelt buckle can block access to the child seat anchor points, preventing a child seat from being properly secured. The onboard charging cable can overheat during charging, raising a fire risk.
On the visibility side, a software error can prevent the rearview camera from displaying an image when reversing. The high-voltage electric heater can also fail, leaving the cabin without adequate heat and the windshield defroster unable to clear the glass; prior repair attempts on some vehicles did not fully resolve this issue and a second repair may be needed.
The owner's manual lists incorrect tire pressure values, which can lead to improperly inflated tires and reduced stability or tire failure if the printed figures are followed.
