Audi e-tron brake pedal can detach from booster
critical How serious is it? About this label
This is the most serious kind of defect, because braking can fail suddenly with no warning, so get it inspected immediately and do not drive if the pedal feels loose, soft, or unusual.
What's wrong, in plain English
The fastener that joins the brake pedal to the brake booster, the part that passes your foot pressure on to the brakes, may have been put together wrong at the factory. If it lets go, the pedal comes away from the booster and you can lose braking. That can happen suddenly while you are driving. A dealer will inspect the brake booster and repair it at no cost. Audi mailed owner letters in October and November 2024.
What you should do
2. Call your Audi dealer, or Audi customer service at 1-800-253-2834, and quote recall 46P6.
3. Get the brake booster inspected and repaired free of charge before further driving.
