By System
The 2022 Audi E-Tron has 6 recalls, the most serious being a brake pedal that can detach from the brake booster and cause complete brake failure, and a high-voltage battery that can overheat and catch fire.
A separate charging-related recall covers the risk of an overheated outlet or charging cable, which also raises the risk of fire. On the visibility side, multiple software issues can prevent the rearview camera from displaying an image when the vehicle begins to reverse, leaving the driver without a view of what is behind the car.
