Volkswagen recall expands to Audi Q4 E‑Tron; owners told to limit charging
Why it matters for readers: If you drive one of these cars, it tells you to limit charging to 80% for safety until Volkswagen issues a permanent fix.
- The recall affects 9,048 Audi Q4 E‑Tron and Q4 Sportback E‑Tron vehicles from model years 2024–2025.1
- Volkswagen warned certain charging profiles combined with a state of charge over 80% may trigger thermal propagation (battery fire risk).1
- Owners were told to limit charging to 80% and VW said it intends to apply a temporary 80% charge limit setting unless owners opt out by October 21.1
- The recall follows Audi’s Product Safety Committee being informed of battery thermal events in other Volkswagen Group EVs that use the same batteries.1
