Takata recall - I received a letter in april 2016, at least 6 weeks ago, about this recall, but the part is still not available at any nj dealership to perform the repair. The audi recall/service campaign lookup tool says that [xxx] in parsippany has the part, but [xxx] says that they do not and do not know when it will come in. I chatted online this morning with someone at audiusa.com/contact us but there is no information as to when this part will be available; only an apology is offered.

Takata recall I waited one year for the driver's side part to come in. I lost out on driving this vehicle for entirely one year. Now there is a recall on the passenger side and I can't take any passengers until it is fixed. Mohegan lake audi tells me that the part wont be available until september and being that this is a convertible, this is totally unacceptable. I can't take my 89 year old mother whom I am caregiver for anywhere in this car. Please help me get this done sooner.
