Transport Canada lists: A 7 2022 · Q 5 2022–2024

What is wrong

What the dealer will do

To reduce the safety risk, Audi advises not to charge your vehicle until the recall repairs have been completed. Audi will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to install an advanced diagnostic software that will monitor the high-voltage battery and warn you if it detects a problem. If you see this warning, you should contact a dealership to arrange replacement of the affected high-voltage battery module.
