2022 Audi e-tron GT Parking Brake Servo Motor Replacement

Condition and Technical Background

Audi has identified a potential issue in certain 2022 Audi e-tron GT vehicles. The dished springs within the Electro-Mechanical Parking Brake Motor, which is a critical component of the parking brake system, may experience failure during their service life. This condition is attributed to a production irregularity.

To prevent this issue from occurring, Audi has proactively released the 46J3 UPDATE. This update aims to address the potential defect before it manifests, ensuring the long-term reliability and proper function of the parking brake system in affected vehicles.

Diagnosis and Eligibility

To determine if a vehicle is eligible for the 46J3 UPDATE, an authorized Audi dealer must check the ELSA Campaign/Action Information screen. The vehicle's status for this update must show as "open" on the day of repair. The ELSA system is the sole binding source for verifying vehicle eligibility; other systems are not considered valid and may lead to non-payment of a claim.

Repair Procedure Summary

The prescribed remedy for the 46J3 UPDATE involves replacing the Electro-Mechanical Parking Brake Motor on both sides of the vehicle. This procedure ensures that both the left (V282) and right (V283) parking brake motors are updated to prevent the potential spring failure.

Technicians will follow detailed instructions found in the ELSA Repair Manual, specifically under "Chassis > Brake System > 46 Mechanical Components > Parking Brake > Left Parking Brake Motor V282 / Right Parking Brake Motor V283, Removing and Installing." The repair process is estimated to take 180 time units for labor operation 4663 55 99, which covers the replacement of both rear electro-mechanical parking brake motors.
