Default PODS recall parts must be in!

I received the recall letter yesterday stating to contact the dealer to have the recall taken care of. The SA said it is a 4+ hour appointment since they have to remove the seat and tear it down to replace the necessary parts. Appointment made and loaner car reserved!

Wondering if my cell phone is still going to set off the new PODS sensor too...

You don't need the letter. Just contact them. Beat the rush.

I'm getting a free loaner even though off warranty, good service from Sewel, TX. BTW, I used VCDS and ran a full scan on my 2013, 60K A6, and zero faults, drives like new still, this thing is a gem...

I had my driver's side airbag light go off on Wednesday. called dealer and they said bring it by. Got loaner and was instructed that the pod recall was ready so they preformed both recalls and did some software update to the drivers side. took them 24 hours to get it all done,

If safety equipment fails (i.e., airbag), no recall needed for free fix in US, its da law. Had free seat belt replacement on an 11 year Honda when light would show it unlatched, even though it was...
