TAKATA RECALL: RECEIVED NOTICE FROM AUDI OF AMERICA APRIL 2016 STATING THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG INFLATOR HAS POTENTIAL TO CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH BUT NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO REPAIR. RECEIVED NOTICE FROM AUDI OF AMERICAN JULY 2016 STATING THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AIRBAG INFLATOR HAS POTENTIAL TO CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH BUT NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO REPAIR AND THEY RECOMMEND NOT USING PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL RECALL REPAIR PERFORMED. CALLED AUDI WHO INFORMED ME THAT WHILE BOTH AIRBAGS HAVE THE SAME POTENTIAL ISSUE, THEY CAN ONLY RECOMMEND NOT USING PASSENGER SIDE AS THE CONSUMER MUST USE THE DRIVER'S SIDE TO DRIVE A CAR. AUDI ALSO INFORMED ME THERE IS NO WAY TO MAKE THE AIRBAGS DEFUNCT UNTIL PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. IT HAS BEEN 4 MONTHS SINCE RECEIVING THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG LETTER AND STILL NO PART.
