Description of the problem	Takata recall. Safety recall 69n2 - takata psdi-5 driver frontal airbag. I received notice of this recall in april, 2016. Nearly 11 months later and audi's position is still that "replacement parts are not yet available" for my vehicle. The inaction by audi and the lack of enforcement by nhtsa is unacceptable, and places myself and my family in continuing danger. Please work with attorney general jeff sessions to bring a civil action against audi to force compliance with the recall. Audi's position, that there are no replacement airbag inflators, is clearly false, as audi continues to sell new vehicles in the us equipped with inflators. I suggest that nhtsa and the justice department seek an injunction barring audi from selling any new vehicles in the us until such time as they have fully complied with the recall, and replaced all the defective airbag inflators with replacement inflators that do not utilize ammonium nitrate propellants.

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?
