What's wrong?
The recalled part is the cell block module inside the high-voltage battery on 2022-2024 Audi E-Tron GT and RS E-Tron GT vehicles. That module stores and delivers electrical energy for the propulsion system, the system that moves the car. It has to keep the battery cells electrically separated and controlled while the vehicle charges and drives.
On affected vehicles, production issues in some battery modules increased the risk of an internal short circuit. A short circuit means electrical current travels through a path it should not take inside the module. Audi identified the affected vehicles through battery data and production-cluster analysis, because the issue is tied to specific groups of modules rather than every E-Tron GT battery.
There is no warning sign before failure. Audi's filing says there are no warnings, so an owner should not rely on a dashboard message, charging behavior, or a change in how the vehicle drives to confirm whether the defect is present.
Who's affected?
Both E-Tron GT variants span the 2022, 2023, and 2024 model years, all involving the same high-voltage traction battery.
| 2024 Audi E-Tron GT | high-voltage traction battery |
|---|---|
| 2023 Audi RS E-Tron GT | high-voltage traction battery |
| 2022 Audi E-Tron GT | high-voltage traction battery |

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific sedan is included.
What's the safety risk?
A short circuit in a high-voltage battery module increases the risk of a fire. There is no warning sign before this failure, so follow Audi's charging limit and keep the battery at 80% or less until the repair is complete. Repair will be free at any franchised Audi dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2022-2024 Audi E-Tron GT or RS E-Tron GT is included in this recall.
- Charge only to a maximum of 80% battery capacity until the repair is complete.
- Contact a franchised Audi dealer and ask when it can perform the free battery-data analysis and high-voltage battery module replacement that addresses the short-circuit fire risk.
- Bring the owner letter if Audi mailed one. If not, reference recall number 24V228 and Audi recall 93VN when you call.
- Call Audi customer service at 1-800-253-2834 with questions about interim charging limits or repair timing.
What happens at the repair
Until the final dealer repair is available, charge the vehicle to no more than 80% battery capacity. Once Audi opens the final repair, an Audi technician will analyze the high-voltage battery data and replace battery modules that need replacement. The final dealer repair will be free once available, with parts and labor covered under the recall. Audi will offer a reimbursement program for this campaign. Keep paid repair paperwork and contact Audi customer service or the dealer for the claim process.
