Contact given number to Audi. 1recallsas sociated with this VIN Feb 09,2016 manufacturer recall number69n1 NHTSA recall number16v078 recall statusrecall incomplete, remedy not yet available summarytakata has reported that the driver frontal airbag inflator could potentially rupture (due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to absolute high humidity and temperature cycling) 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.

Takata inflators. I have been waiting for over 6 months for my vehicle to be fixed from the takata airbag issue. I was told again 4/17/2018 that the parts are not available. I do not feel safe driving this vehicle and want Audi to pay for a loaner vehicle until the parts are replaced and the vehicle is safe to drive. Please let me know what we can do to get these parts in and replaced.

Takata recall. I called Audi of princeton NJ and they inform me the parts are backordered, with no idea of the eta. This is concerning given the dangerous nature of the airbag inflator could potentially rupture due to propellant degradation.

Takata recall why is the "remedy" for the driver airbag inflator not yet available? the recall date is a full 6 months old. This is preposterous when Audi and takata know the fix involves the installation of a new inflator. . . We have no incident (death or injury) to report at this time. How many deaths are needed to force the hand of takata and/or Audi?.

Takata recall: this has been known since February 9, 2016. I have not been notified until I went in almost 1 year after purchasing the vehicle to get my vehicle appraised and it wasn't even Audi until I went there and was told to wait until there is a part for the airbags or if I feel that unsafe to trade it in for another vehicle. Which is also unfair because it's true trade-in value isn't $21,00-$24,000. So failure to notify owner and this is what I found online: "remedy: replace driver airbag inflator. Recall status: recall incomplete. Remedy not yet available " according to safercar. Gov this has become a growing safety issue for my passengers, pets, and myself. It is a disappointment and makes me not want to rely on Audi and drive the vehicle I have purchased after working hard in earning it. They are taking quiet some time and should have thought of another alternative beside the obvious remedy: replace driver airbag inflator. Recall status: recall incomplete. Remedy not yet available.
