Audi bulletin A4823552071439_1

What it saysThis bulletin provides information when there is a rattling noise at full steering lock. NHTSA’s full summary ↓

Audi filed this with NHTSA as a service bulletin dated Sep 13, 2023, received Oct 5, 2023, about the steering. It names 15 model years (2022–2024). A service bulletin is not a safety recall: it is the manufacturer telling its dealers how to diagnose or repair a condition, and whether the work is paid for depends on the warranty in force. Quoting the number at a service desk can save a diagnosis.

The summary is NHTSA’s abstract of the document, as filed under 49 CFR 579.5. One communication is usually filed as several documents — the bulletin, a dealer notice, an owner letter — and the number on any of them finds this page. A PDF link is shown only once NHTSA’s own server has been seen to serve that document; the rest are checked over the following nights. Quote the number at a service desk; it is what the dealer’s system is keyed on.

Model years it names

A vehicle page’s bulletin list shows the newest few communications filed against that model year; the count there is every one.

Email me new Audi bulletins for one of these models

A weekly email, sent only in a week when Audi files something new with NHTSA for the model you pick — service bulletins, campaigns, warranty extensions, over-the-air notices, every model year. Nothing else is sent; one-click unsubscribe in every message. Separate from recall alerts.

What owners reported

Source: NHTSA complaint database

Owners of the 15 model years this bulletin names have filed 90 complaints with NHTSA since 2015. 1 of them name Steering — the same broad component group this bulletin is filed under. NHTSA groups complaints coarsely, so that means the same area of the vehicle, not necessarily the same fault.

A complaint is one owner’s account, not a defect finding, and a bulletin is not a recall. Nothing here says this bulletin was issued because of these complaints, or that the repair it describes fixed them. Complaint files on this site begin in 2015.

Common questions

Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5

Is Audi A4823552071439_1 a recall?

No. A service bulletin is a manufacturer communication filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR 579.5; a safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number (two digits, a letter, six digits) and a federal duty to repair for free. Check the vehicle’s recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or on its page here.

Is the A4823552071439_1 repair free?

Not automatically. A service bulletin describes how to diagnose or repair a condition; who pays depends on the warranty in force, any extension, and the dealer. Quoting the number can save a diagnosis either way.

Which vehicles does A4823552071439_1 cover?

The manufacturer filed it against 15 model years: 2024 Audi Q7, 2023 Audi Q7, 2022 Audi Q7, 2024 Audi Q8, 2023 Audi Q8, 2022 Audi Q8 and more. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
