    Replace battery module

    Defect

    Deviations to various important parameters were discovered on the affected battery modules. These may result in the affected battery modules becoming defective over the course of the vehicle’s service life. In turn this represents a fire hazard with the associated risk of severe or fatal injuries to people inside and/or outside the vehicle as well as significant material damage.

    Remedy

    Replace individual modules of the high-voltage battery. To minimise this risk the manufacturer advises that you limit the charging target to 80 percent capacity until the inspection has been carried out. This significantly reduces the load on the battery during charging. You can adjust this setting in the Charging target menu in the MMI or in the’ myAudi’ app. As this setting may change during vehicle use the current value must always be checked prior to charging the vehicle and set to a maximum of 80 percent if necessary. Additionally until the inspection has been completed the manufacturer advises not to charge the vehicle under cover and or to ensure the vehicle is not parked adjacent to or under buildings.

    24S34 – Courier Hand Brake Wiring

    Defect

    Courier vehicles where the hand brake electrical wiring could get damaged. This could result in the park brake light being illuminated at all times regardless of whether the park brake lever is physically applied. There is a risk that the customer may assume the park brake is applied when it is not increasing the risk of vehicle roll-away. In some cases the park indicator light will not illuminate although the park brake is applied. There is no hand brake function loss due to this issue.

    Remedy

    Inspect rework if required or replace if damaged.
