The 2022 Audi RS E-Tron GT has 8 recalls, the most serious being a high-voltage battery that can short circuit internally and catch fire, along with front brake hoses that can tear, leak fluid, and significantly extend stopping distances.
The battery fire risk and brake hose issue each appear across multiple filings, but prior repair attempts did not fully resolve either problem. On the occupant safety side, a wiring fault in the front passenger seat sensor can incorrectly deactivate the passenger airbag even when someone is seated, reducing protection in a crash. The onboard charging cable can overheat during charging, raising the risk of a fire at the outlet or in the cable itself. There is also a software error that can prevent the rearview camera image from appearing when reversing, reducing the driver's view of what is behind the vehicle.
