Description of the problem	I received a letter from audi stating that the airbags in my car, provided by takata, are recalled as "metal fragments from the airbag could kill passengers in the car". You know this already of course but what i don't get and why i am writing is why are they being given so much time to correct or change the airbags out? The thought that i am supposed to keep driving it without the repair and maybe get killed from a fender bender is ridiculous. Why did they even send me the recall letter if in the letter itself they state that can't repair it "yet"? So every time i get behind the wheel i am scared to drive? I don't feel safe in my own car? I feel like i need to turn off my airbags completely? Now that everyone knows, even me as the car owner, does it somehow let them off the hook if i die before it's repaired to have told me? And aren't you, the us government not responsible as well now that you know since you are not making them replace the bags asap?

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.

Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
