Engineers from Audi are developing a new onboard diagnostic system for the e-tron GT to monitor battery issues

Audi first recalled e-tron GT models have a batter issue in March. This latest recall involves 6,499 examples of Audi 's sexy electric sedan. Owners are being urged not to charge their vehicles beyond 80% capacity. Shortly after Porsche was forced to recall almost 28,000 Taycans in the United States due to a potential battery short circuit, Audi did the same with the mechanically-related e-tron GT and RS e-tron GT models, and for the same reason.

However, Audi has since determined that the individual cells in the battery modules can change throughout their lifetime and require continuous monitoring. With this in mind, impacted EVs will be equipped with onboard diagnostic software that can detect any future high-voltage battery module data anomalies. If anything untoward is found, the high-voltage battery will be replaced free of charge. A total of 6,499 vehicles in the US are embroiled in this latest recall.
