Ffs, that kinda puts a dent into the "who cares about software" arguments.. It would be prudent for everyone here (and not only) to conduct their own "optical analyses" of their brake hoses. Sigh.

 

[Vim Schrotnock]

Idiots.

7 reported occurrences with NO accidents and secondary braking still operational. Sounds to me like Porsche is being very conservative and getting ahead of a possible issue before an accident occurs. As an engineer, when we discovered an issue, we resolved it as quickly as possible. Thank you Porsche!

I just received the notice on MyAudi app for my ‘23 Audi RS etron GT, but nothing yet on MyPorsche app for my ‘24 CT 4S

So Porsche issues recall letters and Audi sends recall app messages? Does Audi send a recall letter as well? Has Audi always communicated recalls in this way for the etron?

Up until recently I was convinced Porsche had one of the best brakes in the car industry, bar none. Apparently it's not just "new tech" that presents a challenge for current generation Porsche engineers.

And dealers were worried they wouldn't be making any money servicing EV's. I bet Porsche techs trained to work on Taycans are in very high demand right now. I suspect some dealerships won't even be done with all the heater recalls before the flood of brake recalls opens up.

It’s weird to see that they recall 2025 Taycan as they have just out from factory…

I took delivery of my Audi RS etron GT in Oct 2023, and the only other recall thus far was for the portable charger which I also received a mailing for recently bc I have yet to exchange it.

Here is what I woke up to this morning for the RS brake hoses via MyAudi App

 

[D00]

Thanks. How it should be.
Vorsprung durch Technik.
Advantage through technology.
One day Porsche may catch up.

From what I can see, there is no similar brake-related recall for Audi e-tron posted at NHTSA yet. My guess is that NHTSA regs require an owner letter for recalls.

 

[Caraholic]

And another one. This is starting to get laughable.

 

[Tooney]

At this time recall ARB0 has no remedy TSB and draft owner notification letter posted at NHTSA.

 

[D00]

Odd that the Audi recall notification says no repair available.
