What's wrong?
The high-voltage battery in 2022-2024 Audi RS E-Tron GT and E-Tron GT vehicles stores the energy that powers the electric drive system. Inside that battery, cell block modules group individual cells together so the car can deliver power, charge, and manage battery temperature in a controlled way.
On affected vehicles, Audi traced the concern to production issues in certain high-voltage battery modules. Individual cells inside those modules can change over their service life, and those changes can create abnormal battery data. If the condition progresses, a short circuit can form inside the module.
There is no warning sign before failure. Once the recall software is installed, it is designed to watch for battery module data anomalies and warn the driver so the affected module can be replaced.

What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2022-2024 Audi RS E-Tron GT or E-Tron GT is included in this recall.
- Wait for Audi's final remedy notice before scheduling the advanced diagnostic software installation.
- Contact a franchised Audi dealer to confirm whether Audi recall 931A or 931B applies to your vehicle and what interim battery check is needed.
- Limit charging to 80% if Audi or the dealer gives that instruction after online battery monitoring or diagnostic inspection.
- Bring any Audi recall notice you received, and reference recall number 24V726 when you contact the dealer or Audi customer service.
What happens at the repair
Until the final remedy is available, Audi is using interim battery checks. For vehicles with online data, Audi monitors battery data at no cost and contacts owners when the data shows a potentially critical battery module. Those owners are told to limit charging to 80% until the affected module is replaced free at an authorized Audi dealer. For vehicles without online data, an Audi technician performs diagnostic procedures and replaces battery module assemblies when needed, free of charge. Once the final remedy opens, the dealer installs advanced diagnostic software for free. Audi will offer a reimbursement program under this recall. Keep related repair invoices and ask Audi customer service or the dealer how to submit documentation under that program.
