Overview

2023 Audi e-tron

The 2023 Audi e-tron offers a refined electric luxury SUV experience, but used car shoppers should proceed with informed caution. Two recalls, one addressing potential overheating of home charging equipment and another for a rearview camera software glitch, highlight key areas for inspection. A substantial count of 258 TSBs suggests a propensity for minor electronic and software-related issues that, while not always critical, can impact ownership satisfaction. The vehicle's electric powertrain provides smooth, quiet operation, but potential buyers must prioritize verifying the completion of all safety recalls and thoroughly examining the charging system's integrity.

Critical Failure Risk

Recall 23V842000 addresses potential overheating of home charging outlets or cables when using the industrial 220V/240V plug at 100% charge setting. This poses a fire hazard.

Early detection can help you avoid a $200-$500 repair.
