2023 AUDI RS E-TRON GT Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2023 Audi RS E-Tron GT has 4 recalls, the most serious involving the high-voltage battery, which can develop internal short circuits or allow liquid to enter and cause electrical arcing, raising the risk of fire. The battery fire risk stems from two related issues: the battery module can short circuit internally, and the battery housing may not be properly sealed, allowing liquid to accumulate inside over time. Both conditions can lead to the same result. Separately, there is a safety concern with the front passenger airbag: a wiring fault in the passenger occupant detection system can cause it to read the seat as unoccupied and disable the airbag even when someone is sitting there, reducing crash protection for that passenger.
