An official CAA Japan notice concerns Passenger cars (Audi RS e-tron GT, Audi e-tron) - Repair. Electrical equipment (high-voltage battery) defect. ■ Defective component: Electrical equipment (high-voltage battery). ■ Condition of the structure, equipment or performance considered noncompliant with standards, and its cause: Some high-voltage batteries contain improperly manufactured battery modules.

What to do now
(Recall notification number) 外-3916. ■ Corrective measures: Inspect all vehicles using a dedicated tester and replace battery modules found to be abnormal with sound parts. Also install a corrective program with a vehicle self-diagnostic function. However, because preparing the program will take time, as an interim measure, ask users to bring their vehicles in for regular battery inspections and instruct them to limit the charge level to 80％.
