What's wrong?
The high-voltage battery in the 2023 Audi RS E-Tron GT and E Tron GT stores the energy that powers the electric drive system. It also carries high electrical load, so the battery housing and sealant are supposed to keep liquid away from the cells and electrical connections.
On affected vehicles, the battery has too little sealant or sealant that does not hold the barrier Audi intended. Liquid can get into the battery and collect where it should not be. As the liquid builds up, insulation resistance drops, which means electricity has less protection from paths it is not supposed to take. If enough conductive liquid accumulates, arcing can occur and increase the risk of a thermal event.
Owners get a warning sign if the system detects the insulation problem. A yellow warning message appears first, and a red warning message appears if the insulation value keeps dropping.
Who's affected?
Both GT variants use the same high-voltage traction battery component in this recall.

What's the safety risk?
Liquid in the high voltage battery can cause electrical arcing and increase fire risk. A yellow warning message appears if insulation resistance drops; a red warning message means the value has continued to fall. If either warning appears, stop in a safe place and call an Audi dealer before continuing. Repair is free at any franchised Audi dealer.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an Audi technician tests the high-voltage battery for leakage. If the battery shows leakage, the technician replaces it. Parts and labor are covered under the recall, so the dealer repair is free. Audi will not provide reimbursement for repairs paid before the recall notice for this campaign. Ask the service desk to document the battery test and any replacement on your repair order.
