Description of the problem | Takata recall. This concerns nhtsa recall number 16v382, manufacturer recall number 69o2. The website reflects that the recall date was may 27, 2016. I received notice from audi dated july 2016 advising me that "a recall repair is not yet available." as of august 24, 2016, the nhtsa website reflects that "recall incomplete. Remedy not yet available." i am very concerned by the issue that led to the safety recall: that if the vehicle is involved in a crash where the passenger frontal airbag is designed to deploy, metal fragments could result is serious injury or death to vehicle occupants. This makes me very worried for my safety and for the safety of any passengers in my car. The airbag is supposed to prevent injury, not actually cause serious injury or death. I would like to know when a remedy will be available and when this life / safety issue in my car will be fixed? Updated 02/01/17.*jb |
