The 2023 Audi E-Tron GT has 7 recalls, the most serious being a high-voltage battery defect where a short circuit inside the battery module can cause a fire.
On the braking side, the front axle brake hoses can develop tears and leak, causing brake circuit failure that extends stopping distances. There is also a charging concern: the onboard charging cable can overheat at the outlet, raising the risk of fire. On the occupant safety side, a wiring fault in the passenger seat detection system can incorrectly deactivate the front passenger airbag while the seat is occupied, reducing protection in a crash. A software error can also prevent the rearview camera image from appearing when reversing, reducing the driver's view behind the vehicle.
