Independent model research guide
Build the Audi e-tron repair record before drawing conclusions.
Use this page as a document-building path for the exact vehicle—not as a substitute for its warranty, VIN record, final repair orders, or legal advice based on the facts.
Badges and model names do not always identify the complete drivetrain or warranty package. Confirm the build data and coverage before comparing another vehicle’s history.
Model-aware documentation
Issue categories to document for a Audi e-tron.
These are investigation prompts, not statements that the model has each problem. Select only the categories that match the actual vehicle and repair orders.
Electric propulsion and reduced-power events
Note loss of propulsion, reduced-power messages, shutdowns, restart behavior, road conditions, and diagnostic work performed.
Electrical power and recurring warnings
Save photographs of warning lights, no-start events, battery replacements, diagnostic codes, and modules tested or replaced.
Software, displays, cameras, and connectivity
Identify update or calibration numbers, failed features, reset attempts, and whether the same symptom returned after programming.
Driver-assistance and safety-system alerts
Document unavailable features, false alerts, braking or steering interventions, sensor conditions, and dealer test results.
Braking, steering, or suspension behavior
Describe pulling, noise, vibration, loss of assist, uneven response, and any effect on predictable control of the vehicle.

Audi e-tron: NHTSA records by model year
Find your model year, distinguish a safety recall from a service bulletin or owner report, and compare the records with your vehicle’s VIN, equipment, and repair history.
Indexed source review: September 24, 2026 · Model-year window: 2021–2026
Model year 2021
2021 Audi e-tron
The 2021 e-tron index includes 9 distinct safety campaigns, covering airbags, belts, and seating, body and closures, brakes and stability control, electrical systems and software, visibility, cameras, and driver assistance, fuel and propulsion. Owner-report entries are most numerous in electrical systems and software (23) and equipment and other reported systems (11). 1137 manufacturer communications are organized separately below so workshop instructions are not mistaken for confirmed owner failures. Start with any applicable safety instructions, then match the service documents and reported conditions to the actual repair orders.

NHTSA investigation activity
Agency record · Closed
Pedestrian alert sounds
The 2021 e-tron is listed in this investigation record. An investigation concerns an agency inquiry; its opening is not a final defect determination, and closure alone is not a finding that every vehicle is safe or repaired.
Agency summary excerpt: “NHTSA received a petition on or about July 18, 2022, requesting that Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 141 be applied to all electric and hybrid vehicles operating in the United States. The petition can be reviewed at NHTSA.gov under …”
Agency disposition and source
On June 24, 2023 and as supplemented on June 25, 2023, the petitioner notified NHTSA he was withdrawing his petition. Based on the petitioner's withdrawal, DP22-005 is closed. Closure of this DP does not represent a determination by NHTSA regarding the subject matter of the petition.

Model year 2022
2022 Audi e-tron
The 2022 e-tron index includes 5 distinct safety campaigns, covering visibility, cameras, and driver assistance, electrical systems and software, fuel and propulsion. Owner-report entries are most numerous in electrical systems and software (17) and brakes and stability control (8). 1053 manufacturer communications are organized separately below so workshop instructions are not mistaken for confirmed owner failures. Start with any applicable safety instructions, then match the service documents and reported conditions to the actual repair orders.

NHTSA investigation activity
Agency record · Closed
Pedestrian alert sounds
The 2022 e-tron is listed in this investigation record. An investigation concerns an agency inquiry; its opening is not a final defect determination, and closure alone is not a finding that every vehicle is safe or repaired.
Agency summary excerpt: “NHTSA received a petition on or about July 18, 2022, requesting that Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 141 be applied to all electric and hybrid vehicles operating in the United States. The petition can be reviewed at NHTSA.gov under …”
Agency disposition and source
On June 24, 2023 and as supplemented on June 25, 2023, the petitioner notified NHTSA he was withdrawing his petition. Based on the petitioner's withdrawal, DP22-005 is closed. Closure of this DP does not represent a determination by NHTSA regarding the subject matter of the petition.

Repair chronology
Turn every e-tron visit into a usable timeline.
Place the final repair orders in date and mileage order. Compare the customer complaint, technician findings, correction, and post-repair result instead of relying only on a dealer summary or online discussion.
Keep visits marked “could not duplicate,” “operating as designed,” or “no fault found.” Those entries may still show that the concern was reported and that an opportunity to inspect was provided.

California legal framework
The statute applies to the evidence—not the badge.
California Civil Code section 1793.2 addresses warranty repair obligations and, in specified circumstances, replacement or restitution after a reasonable number of repair attempts. Section 1793.22 defines the Tanner presumption and “nonconformity.” Those provisions require a fact-specific analysis.
Applicable warranty
Identify the written coverage in effect when the concern was presented.
Repair opportunity
Show when and how the manufacturer or authorized facility received the vehicle.
Substantial impairment
Document the effect on use, value, or safety rather than relying on labels.
Remedy analysis
Compare restitution, replacement, negotiated resolutions, offsets, and supporting damages.
Warranty and escalation record
Separate the Audi e-tron warranty from other contracts.
A manufacturer warranty, certified coverage, dealer promise, and separately purchased service contract may have different obligors and terms. Preserve each document instead of calling all coverage an “extended warranty.”
Save every Audi dealer message, repair authorization, parts-delay explanation, manufacturer case number, and written response. A phone call may matter, but a dated email, text, or letter usually makes the sequence easier to prove.
Primary and practical sources
Verify the law, vehicle, and warranty separately.

Clear answers
Audi e-tron lemon law questions
Can a Audi e-tron qualify under California lemon law?
It may, but the model name alone does not decide eligibility. A review should match the exact vehicle to an applicable written warranty and examine the repair opportunities, recurring nonconformity, mileage, downtime, and effect on use, value, or safety.
How many e-tron repair attempts are required?
There is no universal count that decides every case. California’s Tanner presumption describes specific circumstances, but claims can require a broader analysis of whether the manufacturer had a reasonable opportunity to repair the warranty problem.
Does a recall or service campaign prove that my e-tron is a lemon?
No. Recall, campaign, complaint, or bulletin information may provide context, but it does not prove the condition exists in this vehicle or establish a lemon law claim. Use VIN-specific information and the actual repair record.
What Audi e-tron records should I save?
Keep the purchase or lease agreement, warranty booklet, every final repair order, current registration and payoff information, photographs or videos, towing and rental records, and dealer or manufacturer messages and case numbers.
Can a used or leased e-tron qualify?
Possibly. The answer depends on the transaction, vehicle history, warranty that applied, timing of the repair visits, and other facts. A used or leased vehicle should be evaluated from its own documents.
What remedies may be available for a qualifying Audi e-tron?
Depending on the facts and current law, possible outcomes can include restitution or repurchase, replacement, a negotiated cash resolution, warranty relief, incidental damages, or other remedies. No particular outcome is guaranteed.
