 Description of the problemHello, there is an open recall for my 2001 audi q5: start date: feb 09, 2016, audi action code: 69n1 description: takata has reported that the driver frontal airbag inflator could potentially rupture if the vehicle is involved in a crash where the frontal airbags are designed to deploy. In the event of an inflator rupture, metal fragments could pass through the airbag cushion material, which may result in serious injury or death to vehicle occupants. Nhtsa recall number: 16v078 so the driver airbag inflator has to be replaced. I brought my car to the audi service (3200 columbia pike, arlington, va 22204). I was told that the airbag inflator replacement campaign is expected to start not earlier than september 2017. Since i am leaving the usa in august 2017 and i am planning to bring my car to my country bulgaria, i would like to ask for professional advice what should i do. I would be grateful if you can assist in connecting me with the producer takata to help me with resolving the issue.
