Buying a used 2020 Audi E-TRON? Check these 4 recalls first
The 2020 carries the same two critical battery-and-charging recalls as other e-tron years — modules that can overheat and catch fire, and a portable charging cable that can overheat — plus a brake booster part that can come apart and a rearview camera that may not display. What stands out is the complaint record: just one unverified NHTSA complaint, touching electrical and structure, with no reported crashes, fires or injuries. That is a very small sample rather than a clean bill of health.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Get recall completion records for the battery module and charging cable remedies.
- Ask whether the brake booster recall repair was performed; note any long or inconsistent pedal.
- Shift into reverse several times and confirm the backup camera comes up every time.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Audi dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
