Yesterday I received a letter from vw saying my car was subject to a recall for a takata airbag issue. The letter said parts are not yet available to make repairs and to do nothing at this time. My neighbor has a honda crv that was also affected by the recall. They were provided with a rental car and told not to move the honda until notified to do so. As I understand this is a potentially deadly problem, why am I being instructed to continue driving my car when my neighbor was told not to move theirs under any circumstance? The letter lists "the federal safety agency 16v078".
