# Service bulletin A461526 2042646\-

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

- NHTSA id: 10123609
- Published by NHTSA: 2017\-11\-17
- Manufacturer's number: A461526 2042646\-

- NHTSA component: SERVICE BRAKES

## NHTSA's summary

Customer may complain about brake squeak or squeal with light moderate pedal pressure. The noise is created by the brake pad material. A new brake pad \(part number 4G0698151K\) with improved compound has been developed. The supplier cannot currently produce this part in high volume due to factory capacity, which is causing a delay in part availability. It is possible that installing the original brake pad \(part number 4G0698151D\) will reduce the noise, but doing so is not always effective.
