Audi e-tron Recall 46P7: Brake Pedal Connection

Which vehicles does the current record name?

The current NHTSA campaign summary, checked October 16, 2026, names the following U.S. vehicles. The 18,853 figure is one potential campaign population, not a count of confirmed brake failures or a separate total for each model.

The April filing used the broader labels 2019–2024 e-tron and 2020–2024 e-tron Sportback. The names above follow the current summary. Neither a familiar badge nor a matching model year establishes that an individual vehicle is included.

Why the pedal connection matters

Audi’s April 15 defect filing describes a screw connection between the brake pedal’s input rod and the brake booster’s actuator rod that may not meet manufacturing specifications. The connection can separate. NHTSA warns that pedal detachment can cause loss of brake function and increase crash risk.

The filing identifies possible unusual noise after applying and releasing the pedal, or a pedal that does not return to its original position. These are possible observations, not a test to perform. Do not deliberately reproduce the condition or use normal-feeling brakes as proof the campaign is complete.

If braking behavior changes or the vehicle becomes difficult to stop, reach a safe stopping place and arrange assistance. Audi’s filing directs owners to the matching owner’s manual for the emergency-braking function. Use that vehicle’s instructions rather than a generic pedal or parking-brake experiment.

The stated remedy is inspection and tightening as needed

NHTSA’s current remedy text calls for dealers to inspect the pushrod screw joint and tighten it as necessary, without charge. The filed program describes checking and torquing that joint, with no parts replacement listed for the remedy. This does not establish the condition of another brake component on the car.

Confirm the applicable procedure and appointment arrangements with Audi for the actual VIN. Keep other brake concerns separate from the work specified for this campaign.

46P7 expands the earlier 46P6 campaign

The new action expands NHTSA 24V621, known to Audi as 46P6. Audi’s chronology says analysis of returned parts outside that earlier scope led to a wider review. The new population includes additional affected-station parts not already included in 46P6. Keep 46P7 and 46P6 distinct when reviewing the vehicle’s records.

The original timetable and current mailing report differ

This article was first published April 24, 2026. NHTSA’s April 22 acknowledgement letter described owner notices expected by June 12. The current campaign record instead reports that letters were mailed April 28, 2026. That acknowledgement is a letter to the manufacturer, not an individual owner’s notice.

A mailing date is not a repair date. It does not prove that a particular owner received the notice or that the vehicle has completed the remedy. Owners should check the current VIN status rather than wait for the original expected date.

Check the VIN and the completion paperwork separately

Use NHTSA’s VIN recall lookup and identify both 46P7 and 26V240000 when speaking with Audi. The current record lists Audi customer service at 1-800-253-2834 and says involved VINs became searchable April 17, 2026.

NHTSA’s lookup shows unrepaired recalls; it does not show recalls already repaired and can omit some newly announced campaigns while VINs are being identified. For an owner or used-car buyer, compare that result with a VIN-matched repair order showing the campaign, service date and completed work. An old recall receipt or an empty lookup alone is not a complete brake inspection.
