Description of the problem	Audi has a recall to fix the wiring in the pods system, acknowledging that the components to detect and protect a passenger in the seat exists. The recall does not fix the sensor itself which has been identified as an existing failure issue. Knowing this is a safety issue audi has yet to recall the sensor as part of the system to detect a passenger in the seat. This is as bad if not worse then the airbag recall that exists today. Their explanation is that the sensor is not part of the recall because its a different component than the wiring harness, even though the harness plugs into the sensor and the connection was part of the previous recall. Instead they want to charge between 1200 and 1300 dollars for each replaced sensor. This issue will cause the passenger airbag to fail to activate because the sensor does not register correctly whether there is a passenger or not. Additionally there could be injury to the driver on deployment of the passenger airbag inadvertently due to sensor failure to correctly identify occupant. This is not a wear and tear item and should not be managed as such as a failing use part. It should be recalled as a safety item.
