Audi has recalled more than 100 electric vehicles due to a manufacturing defect that could cause a fire.
A notice published by the Australian government shows the 123 Audi E-Tron 55 and 55 Sportback EVs have been recalled.
“Due to a manufacturing defect, the high voltage battery may experience a thermal overload if charged over 80 percent capacity,” the March 21 notice states.
“If this occurs, the battery could overheat and lead to a vehicle fire.”
The recall page warns a vehicle fire could elevate the risk of “serious injury or death” to people in the car and other road users or bystanders. It also risks damaging property.
The notice impacts Audi E-Tron 55 and 55 Sportback EVs manufactured between 2018 and 2022.
