Description of the problem | Takata recall: audi refuses to perform the recall for u. S citizens abroad. I am u. S. Citizen currently based in europe, working for a u. S. It company. I am the original owner, the vehicle was until 2013 in the u. S., and i moved it temporarily to germany for my assignment here. I am planning to take the vehicle back home to the u. S.
