There is a leak from the panorama sunroof into rear side cabinet of the vehicle. There is already a recall #17V001000 but my vehicle is not on the list even though the issue is identical to the recall description. The leak can potential causes damage to the side rear airbag so it is a safety concern for me. However, the cause is really a defective drain hose connecting to the sunroof drain that is not securely attached or maybe defective.

Takata recall: This is a supplement to complaint no. 10939120 I should have mentioned that the vehicle was purchased and operated in Florida from approximately 3/15/2010 until approximately 8/15/2012. It was, therefore exposed to type a heat and humidity driving conditions and should be classified as such even though the vehicle is now operated in the state of Washington. Damage to the propellant while the vehicle was operated in Florida cannot be ruled out.

"takata recall" and visibility I was involved in an accident on 6/30 driving 2016 Audi Q5 taking a left hand turn. Before making the turn I ensured no one was coming from the opposite direction as I had a solid green light. When I was half way through the intersection then suddenly a car from no where came and hit my car on the front passenger side in a speed of at least 45 mph. My car was dragged for several meters and finally stopped on the sidewalk and the front part is completely damaged. I was surprised to see that the airbags didn't deploy even though my front lights and hood are totally damaged.
