Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Takata recall. Last year i specifically made an appointment with audi tampa (105 e fowler ave, tampa, fl) for this purpose on august 9 2017. The service manager at the time, even though they knew why i was there said they had run out and not to worry that the recall isn't that bad. I am frustrated that a year later i am reminded that this still hasn't been fixed by audi. As an active duty service member i don't have the time nor flexibility to chase audi down. I would expect that audi would be more concerned about this considering this is an error in their design and impacts the quality and safety of their products.

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.
