Audi filed this with NHTSA as a service bulletin dated Oct 21, 2026, received Nov 4, 2026, about the electrical system. It names 3 model years (2026). 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.

What owners reported
Source: NHTSA complaint databaseOwners of the 3 model years this bulletin names have filed 4 complaints with NHTSA since 2015. 1 of them name Electrical System — 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.
The central locking system in my 2026 Audi A3 fails, causing the vehicle to physically unlock itself after I lock it and leave it parked. The myAudi app sends “Vehicle unlocked” and “Vehicle not fully locked” alerts.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Audi TSB_2083723_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 TSB_2083723_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 TSB_2083723_1 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 3 model years: 2026 Audi A3, 2026 Audi RS, 2026 Audi S3. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
