Audi e-tron GE

Dual-motor setup with 230 kW system output and 71-kWh battery. Entry-level electric drive in the e-tron. Practical everyday range, but noticeably limited compared to the 55.

• !! Recall: Moisture Ingress into HV Battery (Fire Risk)

  A defective cable seal allows moisture to enter the HV battery, which can cause short circuits and vehicle fires. First recall 2019 with approx. 7,000 vehicles, followed by further recall 2022/2023.

  Symptoms: Usually no prior warning. Possible range reduction or power loss may precede a more serious event.

• !! Coolant Ingress into Rear Motor (Seal Failure) from 60,000 km

  The rear motor of the e-tron (Audi-EM-300) has a known series defect: a seal fails and allows coolant to enter the electric motor. Repair costs 7,000–10,000 EUR. Audi covered costs in some cases as goodwill.

  Symptoms: Rear motor warning, sudden loss of all-wheel drive, vehicle breaks down. Coolant level drops.

Three-motor setup producing 370 kW system output. Sportiest e-tron variant with torque vectoring at the rear axle via two separate motors.

• !! Recall: Voltage Losses in Battery Cell Modules

  The three-motor S variant (370 kW) uses the same GE-platform battery. LG E61V cell modules can develop voltage losses and be thermally overloaded. Recall 93U9/93V2 for MY 2018–2022.

  Symptoms: Range reduction and power drop as early warning signs. In extreme cases fire risk without prior warning.
