Takata recall. I live on the island of maui and the only authorized dealer to perform the safety recall of takata inflators, is on oahu. Neither the dealer, or Audi of America, Inc. Will pay for the shipping of the vehicle for this recall. This will cost hundreds of dollars for shipping both ways, and is only a temporary fix. Additional cost will be required when there is a "final remedy."

Akata has reported that the driver frontal airbag inflator could potentially rupture 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. Remedy: Replace driver airbag inflator. Recall status: Recall incomplete. Remedy not yet available almost a year later and remedy not yet available!!!!

Takata recall - this recall was started in February of 2016 yet I was never informed by Audi that my vehicle needed the air bag fixed and the Audi website states that a solution is still pending. I need to know if the vehicle can already be fixed and until what date I have to take it to an Audi dealer for repair.

"takata recall" I was notified in April 2016 of the recall by Audi of America. As of today, Oct. 3, 2016 I was told that they still have no timeline as to when the parts will be available to repair my vehicle. As this is a dangerous situation, potentially fatal, it is mind boggling that 6months have elapsed since the initial notification.
