Is P0299 a known problem on Audi vehicles?

It is a documented one: NHTSA's files hold 23 manufacturer filings and 3 owner reports naming P0299 on 13 Audi model years (2019–2027). Whether it is a problem on one particular car is a diagnosis, not a count — but a bulletin that names the code on your model year is the place to start.

2026 Q5 (4 documents), 2026 SQ5 (4 documents), 2026 A6 (3 documents).

Does P0299 on a Audi mean it is recalled?

No. Recalls are filed by campaign and matched by VIN; no recall is triggered by a scan tool. Check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or open the model year's page here for the campaigns filed against it.
