Audi hybrid vehicles: high-voltage batteries have isolated irregularities

Country	New Zealand
Category	Automotive
Published	2025-02-13
Models affected	A6, A7, Q5
Model year	2021-2024
Defect	We have discovered isolated irregularities on high-voltage batteries in Audi Q5, A6 and A7 vehicles with hybrid drive systems. A measure is necessary as deviations from important technical parameters have been discovered on isolated battery modules. These may result in the affected battery modules becoming defective over the course of the vehicle’s service life. In turn, this may result in a fire hazard when charging the high-voltage battery, with the associated risk of severe or fatal injuries to people inside and/or outside the vehicle, as well as significant material damage.
Remedy	The owners of affected vehicles will be notified in writing according to specific market requirements.
