Issue

Issue:
On certain vehicles, a problem with high-voltage battery module(s) could cause the high-voltage battery to overheat.

Safety Risk:
A high-voltage battery that overheats could create a fire risk.

Corrective Actions:
Audi will notify owners by mail. As an interim repair, a dealer will inspect and, if necessary, replace the battery modules. Once the final repair is available, you will need to return to a dealership to install a software update for the high-voltage battery. This software will monitor the high-voltage battery and warn you if it detects a problem. To reduce the safety risk, Audi recommends that you set the maximum charge setting of your vehicle at 80% until the final recall repairs are completed.
