| Description of the problem | Takata recall i received my recall notice in february and have not heard anything further from nhtsa or audi. When will there be a solution to this? My wife received a call from our audi dealer yesterday during which they said that the defect could not be repaired. I can't believe that this is the case. Doesn't audi have to replace the defective component? I have no interest in purchasing a new car without significant compensation for its cost. |
