Model Year	2008
File date	15/04/16

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Takata recall: i received the attached notice from audi of america, inc., dated april 2016, and stating that my vehicle contains a takata frontal airbag inflator that "could potentially rupture if the vehicle is involved in a crash where the frontal airbags are designed to deploy. In the event of an inflator rupture, metal fragments could pass through the airbag cushion material, which may result in serious injury or death to vehicle occupants." the notice states that replacement parts are not available. I recently serviced my car, and again the dealer informed me that replacement parts are not available. I called audi usa today and they said that takata has not made replacement parts available at this time and they have no timeline for supplying the parts. I am deeply concerned that a critical piece of safety equipment in my vehicle could itself cause me or my passengers "serious injury or death." i would appreciate it if someone would please advise when these replacement parts will be made available for this critical repair. Thank you.
