Takata recall - driver seat: the plastic housing on both sides of the driver's seat, near the headrest, have popped open and pulled away from the seat. The is the area where the side airbags are stored and deploy from during a collision. Passenger seat: the plastic housing has popped/pulled away on the passenger seat, near the headrest.

Discovered the anomaly with the driver's side the next morning when getting into the car (July 9, 2017). Discovered the anomaly with the passenger side a few days later (July 13, 2017). I have contacted a nearby Audi dealership.

Audi Tt, 2001, roadster. The glove box lock failed without reason. This failure does not allow the passenger side air bag to be disconnected for children as required by law. My car is not the only one with this defect. It is a design failure creating a safety hazard to small passengers. This failure is common to Audi Tt 2000 thru 2005. Needs to be corrected via a recall, an improved glove box lock system. Repairing with the same system only leads to recurrent failures.
