Description of the problem	Takata recall - audi dealerships are either denying that there is a recall or refusing repair on the basis of airbag unavailability. I have been in contact with both of the following dealerships regarding this recall for about 1 year with no satisfaction. Rockville audi, bryan webster, checked the audi recall site as late as 10/30/2017 and showed me on the screen that there were no open recalls on my vehicle, and denied replacement. Silver spring audi (mile one) (original selling dealer) acknowledged recall but indicated repeatedly that they could not obtain a replacement from takata and therefore could not comply with the replacement of the recalled airbag. This has effectively denied me the use of my car for 12 months.

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.
