These vehicles are equipped with certain air bag inflators assembled as part of the passenger frontal air bag modules used as original equipment or replacement equipment. In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the passenger frontal air bag, these inflators may explode due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to absolute humidity and temperature cycling.

- Remedy

Takata recall audi dealers in my area never have the required parts to complete the recall for nearly 2 years
I've called multiple times to schedule an air bag recall fix but I keep getting blown off.
Recall has been extended time. Excessive notifications requiring consumer to check on part availability. Poor exchanges between audi (recall servicer) and service provider. Mailings of cards, letters, emails meaningless if part allocation has not been made. Frustrated by the management of a critical safety issue.9898l
