Yeah - something isn't right. Other dealers are taking deposits on the '18 S^ models that have been collecting dust on the lot since June. Their expectation is parts will arrive by end of Nov. The January dealer informed me "The parts are still on order, there is no definitive date as to when the recall will be performed. Audi will issue a written notice on corporate letterhead updating anything to do with the recall. These Audi dealerships are taking deposits to get the clients "off the street."
Will see how this plays out . . .

"See below regarding seat PODs on A6/A7. Please keep this in mind as your schedule the shop.
· The repair procedure will be available on or about 11/20/18.
· Allocation of parts are planned to begin late this week / early next week.
· Allocation looks to be in good shape which should allow dealers to repair both customer owned and dealer owned vehicles at launch.
· Dealers will also repair incoming vehicles from the port.
· Look for a part allocation file from me later this week."

I don't know the part #'s, as I'm not on the service side of things, sorry. It wouldn't surprise me if it's the same part # for all the vehicles though

Yo guys, I spoke to my Audi contact today regarding my incoming 2018 S7, here’s what she said:
I confirmed with my GM today that the parts will be in next week. The car will be released from the port the moment the parts are at the dealership (they can’t release it from the port until the recall fix is announced publicly) the moment that happens, we will get the car released which will can take anywhere up to 3 days to arrive at the dealership, once here we can have the part installed and ready for pick up the same day

Awesome you will finally get your new ride, remember to post pics for the rest of us. Last time I was in for service, last month, my service advisor thought a new seat might be the fix; if they can turn your car around so quickly for you then maybe the good news for the rest of us is that we keep our seats and the fix doesn't involve a lot of dismantling things on the interior.
