Anyone Else Heard About the Mid-April A3 E-tron Campaign

[FlorinaKen9]

I’ve got a 2015 A3 E-tron that was scheduled for a service at my local Audi dealer in early April. The dealer called me today asking if I’d like to move my appointment to mid-April because of an upcoming "campaign." They mentioned it’s battery-related and that they’d need the car for three days, but they weren’t very forthcoming with details.

Has anyone heard about this campaign or know what it might involve? I’m curious if it’s something major or just a routine update.

April 2025? I think it could be related to the Next-generation Audi Q3 or Q6 e-Tron (but this is for India). I don't know what more to say. Anyway, waiting until April for a battery-related issue looks daring to me.

The early A3 e-trons have an outstanding recall to check the battery case - apparently some number of the cars had corrosion or otherwise failing at some of the weld points, so they have to drop the battery case out and check everything.

We just had this done on ours (in Canada - maybe our recalls are ahead of yours?). Took just under two weeks - during which they gave us a loaner
Worst case: they replace the battery (which they made sound like not great because getting a new battery is....not easy - very low supply).
Best case: As with ours, everything checks out and they put it back together.
