Reported risk: On affected vehicles battery modules may become defective over the course of the vehicle’s service life. 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. To minimise this risk do not charge the high-voltage battery using an external charging source. In addition do not use the e-tron modes “Battery charge� and “Battery hold� (refer to Owner’s Manual) until further notice. Remedy: Replace the defective modules. Further software fix being developed to improve monitoring.
