Why This Matters
Audi has identified a potential issue with the 12-volt battery's positive terminal wiring harness in a small number of 2022 Audi e-tron GT vehicles. This condition, stemming from a production irregularity, means the wiring harness may not have been tightened to the correct torque specification.

The repair for this issue is straightforward. Technicians will inspect the wiring harness for the positive terminal on the 12-volt battery. If found to be improperly torqued, the harness will be tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque.
