Known issues

High
NHTSA 19V-434 (June 2019) covers certain 2019 e-tron vehicles. Moisture can enter the high-voltage battery system through a faulty seal on the charging socket. Dealers install a new seal and replace affected components as necessary, free of charge.
High
NHTSA 23V-867 (December 2023) covers certain 2019-2022 e-tron quattro and 2020-2022 e-tron Sportback quattro vehicles whose high-voltage battery modules may overheat.
