SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
- The defect
- Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Audi) is recalling certain 2021 Audi E-Tron Quattro and E-Tron Sportback Quattro vehicles. Corrosion in the brake booster may cause the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS), Electronic Stability Control (ESC), speedometer display, and brake assist to stop functioning.
- What it can cause
- A loss of braking assist, ABS, and ESC will increase the effort and distance required to stop, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the brake booster, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 30, 2021. Owners may contact Audi customer service at 1-800-253-2834. Audi's number for this recall is 47R7.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 38 vehicles this is a small campaign: 81% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2021, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2021, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Audi vehicles have been recalled over the service brakes, hydraulic 5 times before this, most recently in July 2021 as 21V569000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 1 model year the campaign names. Their owners have filed 36 complaints with NHTSA, 1 of them before this campaign was filed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 8 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V900000 (back over prevention), 23V867000 (electrical system), 23V842000 (electrical system), 22V806000 (equipment).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. with NHTSA on September 13, 2021 as campaign 21V707000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
