Recall 46P7 brake booster/brake pedal connection
Apr 15,2026
Manufacturer Recall Number 46P7
NHTSA Recall Number 26V240
Description: The screw connection from the input rod on the brake pedal to the actuator rod on the brake booster was not performed according to manufacturing specifications. Because of this, the screw connection may disconnect. If a complete separation occurs, vehicle braking would only be possible using the emergency braking function, increasing the risk of a crash. If the recall condition is present in the vehicle, after applying and releasing the brake pedal the driver may notice an unusual noise or notice that the brake pedal does not return to its original position. In the event of a complete loosening of the screw fitting and the separation of the connection, braking is only possible by using the emergency braking function. Owners are reminded to consult the owners manual for information regarding the emergency braking function.
Risk Description: If a complete separation occurs, vehicle braking would only be possible using the emergency braking function, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Inspect the pushrod screw joint in the brake booster and, if necessary, torque it to the correct specification.

Just got this completed along with the switching unit SW update. No noticeable change in operation.
Car also had the 'exit warning' error crop up, and this time the dealer chose to replace the drivers' side door latch.
