2024 AUDI RS E-TRON GT Complaints and Recall Information
The 2024 AUDI RS E-TRON GT has 3 complaints and 6 recalls filed with NHTSA. Owners most frequently report failures in the safety systems including emergency braking, cross traffic warning, and forward collision warning. These failures have resulted in collisions with other vehicles in parking lots, with no prior warnings or symptoms before the safety systems failed.
- Safety system failure. Emergency braking, cross traffic warning, and forward collision warning systems failed to activate, resulting in collisions with other vehicles in parking lots.
- Repeated collisions. After the initial impact, safety systems again failed, allowing continued movement and a second collision with a parked vehicle.
- No warnings reported. Failures occurred without any prior warning or symptoms, making the defects unpredictable to the owners.
- Vehicle declared total loss. At least one vehicle was deemed a total loss after independent inspection following these safety system failures.
- Lack of manufacturer response. Audi of America refused to inspect or investigate the defect despite requests from owners.
There are 6 recalls affecting various systems on the 2024 AUDI RS E-TRON GT. These recalls involve critical components including the high-voltage battery, charging system, and brake hoses. The recalls address fire risks, brake failures, and overheating issues through component replacement or software updates.
- High-voltage battery short circuit (24V228000). Affecting 1009 vehicles, the battery modules may short circuit, increasing fire risk. Owners are advised to limit charging to 80% until repairs are completed. Dealers will replace battery modules as needed free of charge.
- Charging cable overheating (23V842000). This recall covers 93,196 vehicles. Using the 220V/240V plug at 100% charge can cause outlets or cables to overheat, which may lead to fire. Dealers will provide new charging cables with temperature sensors at no cost.
- Front axle brake hose tears (24V465000). In 9,653 vehicles, brake hoses may tear causing leaks and brake circuit failure, leading to extended stopping distances and crash risk. Dealers will replace brake hoses free of charge.
- Expanded battery short circuit recall and software fix (24V726000). Covers 6,499 vehicles. Addresses the same battery short circuit issue with advanced diagnostic software installation and monitoring. Interim measures include limiting charge to 80% and, if needed, battery module replacement. This recall supersedes previous battery-related recalls, requiring affected vehicles to receive the new remedy.
- Software update for battery safety (24V726000). Included with the previous recall, the software aims to detect battery module issues and prevent fire risk through ongoing diagnostics and charge control.
Owners dealing with repeated repairs or unresolved recall issues involving these defects may have rights under their state’s lemon law. It may be beneficial to consult with a qualified attorney to review individual circumstances related to safety system failures or recall compliance.

ID: 2087076BACK OVER PREVENTION: REARVIEW SYSTEM BRAKING
On [XXX], the vehicles safety systems (emergency braking, cross traffic warning, forward collision warning) failed to function allowing the vehicle to hit a cross traffic vehicle in a parking lot. The safety system failed again after the first collision allowing the vehicle to continue driving forward to hit a second parked vehicle. Details of the incident is available by Geico claim [XXX]. The safety systems failed to mitigate a human error as they were designed to do. The consequence would have been more devastating had a person instead of a vehicle crossed in front. Geico inspected the vehicle and deemed it a total loss. I have requested Audi of America to inspect the vehicle and conduct an investigation to identify and correct the defect. They have refused to do so. No warning or symptom of any kind appeared before the failure. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
