Issue ID	1359343
Internal NHTSA #	10957361
Manufacurer	Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
Brand	AUDI
Model	A3
Model Year	2012
File date	09/02/16
Component	AIR BAGS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Takata recall: i was notified about the takata airbag recall by letter over one year ago. I have tried to schedule appointments to have the airbag replaced on two different occasions at two different audi dealerships. Both dealerships stated that they do not have the parts and do not know when the parts will be available. This is an unreasonable amount of time to wait for a repair especially considering that the current airbag in my car is a potential safety risk that when inflated during a crash could shoot metal fragments into vehicle occupants (me!). The lack of response from the manufacturer is unacceptable and irresponsible. I expect an expedient investigation and resolution to this safety hazard.

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.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
