Issue:
Certain e-tron GT high-voltage batteries may experience short circuits within the battery modules, which can lead to thermal events and, in some cases, fires. A short circuit in the high-voltage battery module can increase the risk of a thermal event or fire.
Precautions:
As a precaution, the affected vehicles should only be charged to a maximum of 80% of the battery capacity until the recall remedy becomes available and has been completed on the vehicle.
Repair:
- REPAIR NOT YET AVAILABLE
- Dealers and owners will be notified in writing once the remedy is available.
- Check daily campaign open inventory report or OMD for affected vehicles in inventory.
Chronology :
On December 6, 2023 Audi was informed by Porsche that a safety-related defect in HV battery modules in certain Porsche Taycan vehicles had been determined and a safety recall had been decided. Because the Audi e-tron GT is a substantially similar vehicle and uses the same HV battery modules, Audi submitted a foreign recall report under 49 CFR Part 579 and started the investigation for Audi.
December 2023 – March 2024: Audi started investigating this issue together with Porsche and the battery cell/module manufacturer, using in particular data analytics and hardware analyses. With this additional investigation and analyses, on March 15, 2024 Audi determined that a safety-related defect exists in vehicles identified via data analytics and hardware analyses.
As there are different batches of potentially affected Audi e-tron GT vehicles which require different remedies, Audi decided to conduct two different recalls on March 15, 2024 (manufacturer recall identification code 93VM and 93VN): 93VM applies to a vehicle population where Audi has sufficient vehicle battery data. 93VN applies to a vehicle population where Audi does not or not yet have access to sufficient vehicle battery data.
As of March 22, 2024 Audi is not aware of any warranty claims, injuries, crashes or fires due to this issue.

Description of Remedy :
Description of Remedy Program : As an interim remedy, the owner notification letter will advise that
affected vehicles should only be charged to a maximum of 80% of the battery capacity.
Final remedy: To determine the necessity for a possible HV battery module replacement, additional vehicle battery data will be obtained and analysed. Affected high-voltage battery modules will be replaced. Audi will offer a reimbursement program under this recall.
How Remedy Component Differs from Recalled Component :
The vehicles were identified by data analytics based on latest root cause analyses to determine affected clusters in production. This report will be updated as necessary. Replacement battery modules will be produced using improved cell production quality, as applicable.
