Consumer Description

REFERENCE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 15V823000, MY AUDI A6 FALLS WITHIN THE MODEL YEAR AS WELL AS THE AS BUILT TIME LINE. I'VE JUST BEEN DIAGNOSED BY MY LOCAL AUDI DEALER THAT MY PODS UNIT IS BAD. MY AUDI DOES HAVE HEATED SEATS SO IT FITS THE PROBLEM DESCRIPTION AS RELEASED BY AUDI AS WELL AS NHTSA BUT DUE TO THE FACT MY VIN DOESN'T PULL UP THIS CAMPAIGN. I BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE MORE AUDI'S AFFECTED WITHIN THAT MODEL YEAR AS WELL AS BUILD TIME FRAME THAT COULD BE AFFECTED BY THIS. EVEN THOUGH MY VIN MIGHT NOT PULL IT UP IF SOMETHING WERE TO HAPPEN THERE COULD BE POSSIBLE LEGAL ACTIONS IF THE AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY PROPERLY.
