9 recalls across 5 model years
The Audi Q4 E-Tron has 9 recalls covering 2022 through 2026 model years, with the most serious affecting 2024-2025 vehicles where the on-board charger can fail to keep the 12-volt battery charged, cutting drive power while the vehicle is in motion.
The 2026 model year has a front seat belt retractor defect where a damaged torsion bar can prevent the belt from properly restraining an occupant in a crash. On 2022-2024 models, the charging system can overheat at the outlet or cable during charging, raising the risk of fire. The 2022-2023 model years share an airbag concern where the head curtain airbag, when it deploys, can catch on the metal inlay of the door seal and tear, leaving occupants without full side protection in a crash.
On 2022-2023 vehicles, the instrument panel can fail to display the current gear position, which can lead to a rollaway if the driver steps out without engaging the parking brake. Two related lighting issues affect 2022-2024 models: incorrect headlight control software can cause the parking lamps to switch off when the headlights are on and a turn signal is activated, reducing the vehicle's visibility to other drivers. The rearview camera on some 2022 models can display a blank screen when the vehicle is shifted into reverse, reducing the driver's view of what is behind them.
