2021 AUDI E-TRON Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2021 Audi E-Tron has 7 recalls, the most serious being a brake pedal that can detach from the brake booster and cause complete loss of braking, and a high-voltage battery that can overheat and catch fire. Three separate brake-related issues round out the most critical concerns. A rotor and shaft inside the integrated brake system can separate, causing a loss of anti-lock brakes and electronic stability control. Separately, corrosion in the brake booster can disable anti-lock brakes, stability control, brake assist, and the speedometer display, all of which increase stopping distance and reduce driver control. There is also a glove box hinge pin that may not be properly secured, allowing the glove box lid to block the knee airbag from deploying fully in a crash. On the charging side, onboard charging components can overheat and create a fire risk. The final recall involves a software issue where the rearview camera image may not appear when the vehicle is shifted into reverse, reducing visibility while backing up.
