What owners wrote

I have a 2016 audi a3 that has a current recall on the (pods) system and the dealer and audi USA tells me they do not have the parts and have no idea when it will be available! I drive and pick up my 15 year old grandson to school each day and I am fear-full audi must be made to come up with the parts. What good is a recall by NHTSA if nothing gets completed??
