More than 200 luxury electric vehicles (EVs) will be recalled in Australia due to a manufacturing issue that could increase the risk of fire.

Audi will recall e-tron GT EV models released in 2022 and 2023 due to an issue with the sealing of the high-voltage battery housing, which may reduce overtime, allowing moisture to enter.
