Volkswagen Group of America has instructed owners of 9,048 Audi Q4 E‑Tron and Q4 Sportback E‑Tron vehicles from the 2024 and 2025 model years to stop charging above 80 percent following a safety recall. The recall, listed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration as campaign 26V698000, cites a risk of high‑voltage battery failure that could lead to fire, though the exact cause remains under investigation.
Audi reports no crashes, fires, or injuries linked to the issue and will issue interim notification letters on December 18, 2026, advising owners to limit charging to 80 percent until a permanent repair is available.
