April 1016 received a racall notice regarding 69M9 takata sdi driver frontal airbag. Called many times, no parts. Called today, one yer later, no parts. Has Volkswagen defaulted on their promise to replace this faulty part. I know they have challenged the recall, but I was under the impression that they would comply. VW refused to supply a replacement car. Know that in tests this particular air bag failed.

Takata recall. After being informed my vehicle is subject to the takata recall, the dealership has refused to rectify the situation time and time again. I fear everyday for my life because of this situation and the dealership continues to deny responsibility. Please help! I will not wait for a catastrophe to happen for them to do anything about it. My life is definitely in their hands and my safety is their responsibility.
