| Description of the problem | Takata recall. I have scheduled with my local audi dealer two times to have this airbag recall replacement completed, and both times, they have called me to inform me that they a) do not have the parts, and b) do not know when they will get them. This happened again for the second time today, 11/14/2018 with royal motors san francisco. According to https://vinrcl. Safercar. Gov/vin/vinlookup these parts were expected to be available in april of this year. It is now mid-november, 7 months late. This is unacceptable for a safety item such as this. Why aren't the parts available, and why don't they know when they will be?? Until then, i'll be continuing to drive this potentially dangerous vehicle. |
