Takata recall the recall was started on May 27, 2016. But I have never received a notification letter from Audi with respect to the recall. When I find out the recall today by myself, it turns out that Audi is still not able to provide repair for my vehicle. Driving such a vehicle is very dangerous to the front passenger. Audi as the manufacturer should have been taken care of it.

Takat recall. Where is the fix? this is a serious danger...lives are at risk. I have not experienced this issue and find the solution is taking much to long increasing the risk that I do experience the issue.
- Queen Creek, AZ, USA
Takata recall:I received a letter from Audi in July 2016 notifying me that my vehicle is subject to this recall, but also informing me that "a recall repair is not yet available." Seven months later, I am still awaiting notification that a remedy for this potentially fatal defect has been identified. Apparently, I'm supposed to drive this vehicle at my own, and my passengers', risk that an airbag may deploy and result in serious injury or death. This is absurd.

- Moulton, AL, USA
Takata recall. I received the notice in the mail on July of 2016, repair has still not been performed. Audi dealer states that they don't have the parts in stock. However, nothing has happened to the car and everything is fine. I am just afraid to have a passenger with me in the car. I shouldn't have to wait for the replacement such a long time.

This is not a complaint about [xxx], my Audi dealer. (my wife has an A6 under recall same problem). Your web site says 12 million air bags have been replaced. But Audi tells me that they have not received any indication of when they will receive replacements from takata and I feel at risk driving my car. Why has Audi not received replacements and 12 million others have? information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Takata recall- recall initiated in May 2016. It is December 2016, and dealer says no fix is available yet. This is unacceptable. They recommended that no one sit in passenger seat, this is unacceptable and puts myself and my passengers at risk every time I drive.

Takata recall- my life is in danger everyday. Why Audi ignoring the safety of my life by not replacing the bags quickly? it has been too long, and what is taking so long. This is unacceptable.

Air bag warning light is on. This is my daily driver so very concerned. Also this vehicle uses an unusually high amount of oil. I have to add oil weekly to the car. It has been doing this for a long time. I just was informed that I could report this problem.
