Description of the problem	Takata recall i received the safety recall notice from audi in april 2016. I called my local dealer and was told the "part weren't available yet." it is now november 2016 and when checking on this again i am told the parts still aren't available. I find this unacceptable and i wonder why the nhtsa doesn't find it unacceptable as well. I called audi customer service and was told they have "no idea when they are getting replacement parts from takata." however, audi is obviously still making these cars and since they can find new airbags to put in new cars, why isn't anyone pressuring the manufacturer to fix the cars they sold in the past before they use those parts on new cars!!! It seems that they don't care about this since takata will be liable if i die in an accident. However, i hold audi and the nhtsa responsible because it doesn't appear that anyone cares about people that bought cars a few years ago since the existing supply of good airbags is going into new cars that haven't been sold yet. I also find it odd that in the progress towards completion report on your website, there is no data at all for audi, which makes me think audi has done nothing to expedite this recall while all of their competitors have. Why does the nhtsa allow this? Please investigate and respond, i would greatly appreciate it. I now have two recalls for my 2011 q5, the takata airbag and now the fuel pump that could blow up. Sounds like i am driving a very dangerous car and no one is pressuring the manufacturer to fix either item.

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.
