Any other folks shaking their head at the airbag recall? I didn't know the a3 (up until 2013 I think) was included until I put in the vin into Audi's system. Doesn't look like their are parts available yet, hence no letter from Audi.
It's a safety issue, whether I knew about it or not up until this point. Also, that means I have to take time off from work to get it to the dealer when the recall notice arrives.why shaking your head?
I saw on the news the other day where a young girl was hit in the face by shrapnel from the inflator and it killed her. Not a life threatening crash either. I thought this was mostly a japanese car issue but apparently notNHTSA Recall Number: opens new window takes away from VIN lookup section> 16V079 Recall Date: February 9, 2016

Wow that bill is going to be insane! You should try to get a rental for yourself and let us know how it goes.Really sad about that girl. My boss has an 07 Honda under the recall. They sent him to Enterprise and he got a free rental car. He is keeping it until August until the part is in! I wonder what Audi is doing?
