The A6/7/8 and Q7/8 models (and s/rs variants) with v6's have a long standing 48v alternator issue mostly relating to a poor COVID-era supplier

The A4 did have a recall in 2020 for the alternator, but 4cyl engines in general have had less of this issue than than the v6's. A4 alternators seem to have been going out without wearing on the 12v battery, so if it does happen, it will at least be cheaper.
