Buying a used 2024 Audi Q4 E-TRON? Check these 3 recalls first
The critical item is the portable charging cable that can overheat, shared across Audi's electric line. More consequential on the road is a recall for loss of power, which also covers the VW ID.4, plus wrong headlight software affecting the parking lights. Owner reports run 22 unverified NHTSA complaints, heavily electrical, with service brakes, power train and steering trailing; two crashes and two injuries are included. None of these recalls carried a stop-driving or park-outside warning.
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.
- Confirm the power-loss recall remedy was applied at a dealer and get the date.
- Check whether the original charging cable was replaced under the recall.
- Switch on the parking lights and confirm the headlight software update was performed.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Audi dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
