Was there any indication of vin sequences in the letter? Audi USA has a search by vin feature but it Recognizes a Canadian vin and says to call Audi Canada. Audi Canada has nothing. Can't even find the word recall when searching their sight. I've a 2010 which from all sources I could find seems to be impacted by the recall just no solid confirmation yet and no letter.

Got my letter. I knew it was coming. My VIN showed up on the Audi Recall Site last week.
We now have (2) Audi's with this situation. Each car calls for different replacement parts.

I got essentially the same letter for my 2013 BMW 135is. The BMW letter was pretty scary but did not indicate when a fix was forthcoming. There is probably a legal reason to alert us of the danger now - even though they are not yet able to fix our cars or offer an alternative strategy. I hope the dangers have been overstated to provide manufacturers some sort of a liability shield.

Finally got my recall letter for the interim fix, car goes in next week. If understood correctly, the drivers side air bag inflator will be replaced with a newer vintage of the same recalled inflater. Supposed to be much safer than the one in my car now due to all the temperature cycling and environmental moisture over time. Audi will advise when the final remedy is available probably another year or two.

Went for an oil change last week and to my great surprise when i got there the dealer said "We got the airbag, would you like us to install it now? but you will have to wait an extra hour". You bet i will wait an extra hour, I've been waiting for more than a year. 😎
