Description of the problem	Advised that my 2013 audi a6 requires passenger occupant detection system (pods). This exact part was recalled via recall #74d1. Audi has advised that my vin was not included in the recall. However, the audi service technician at audi north american advised me that the pods part in my car is the exact same part number in the recall notice. The difference is that the recall had for heated and cooling sets, while my vin has only heated seats. As a result, audi north america is not extending the recall to my vehicle. This is preventing the passenger airbag from being operational. Again, main point is that the exact same part number that has been recalled, is the same part number that in my vehicle that i am being told is the issue and needs to be replace. The dealer tried to "reset" it pods system, but it immediately stopped working one day later. I expect that as this is an extreme important safety issue, and by law manufacturers must remedy faulty part, the audi north american needs to remedy. These are not two different version of the part, mine is the same as was found to be defective and required by the nhtsa to replace. The car was service by audi in february, but i have been in discussions with them several time over the last two months, with no resolution.
