    Audi recalls e-tron GT, RS GTs over battery fire fears

    Audi has issued a recall for nearly 370 top-end electric vehicles over fears a fault with the battery could spark a vehicle fire.

    Audi has issued a recall for hundreds of vehicles in its e-tron range over fears the battery could short circuit and spark a fire.
    The recall notice, issued earlier this week, affects 369 vehicles, e-tron GTs and RS GTs, from 2020 to 2024.
    “Due to a manufacturing issue, the cell modules installed in the high voltage battery may be defective,” the notice states.
    “A short circuit could cause a thermal overload and result in a vehicle fire over time. The potential defect can be determined with an initial check.”
    The e-tron was launched at the end of 2018 as Audi’s first all-electric vehicle.
    A brand new e-tron GT starts at $160,922, and incurs an additional $22,977 luxury vehicle tax, according to Audi’s website.
    An RS e-tron GT starts at $213,768 and incurs a luxury vehicle tax of nearly $40,000.
    Owners of affected vehicles will be contacted by Audi Australia and asked to schedule an appointment to have the battery inspected.
    If the inspection detects a defect, Audi will repair the vehicle free of charge.
