IM AN ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY SERVICE MEMBER STATIONED OVERSEAS IN SOUTH KOREA. I CURRENTLY OWN A 2015 AUDI A6. I WAS RECENTLY NOTIFIED THAT MY VEHICLE HAD 2 RECALLS PLACED, SPECIFICALLY ON THE ELECTRIC COOLANT PUMP AND ON THE PASSENGER OCCUPANT DETECTION SYSTEM (PODS). I VISITED MY LOCAL AUDI DEALERSHIP IN KOREA AND THE AUDI STAFF SAID THAT THEY CANNOT FIX OR REPAIR THE ISSUE SINCE IT IS A U.S. SPECIFIC RECALL. I CALLED THE U.S. AUDI SERVICE DESK AND THEY ALSO SAID THAT THEY CANNOT HELP WITH THE ISSUE AND TOLD ME TO CHECK WITH NHTSA. I FULLY UNDERSTAND THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS MATTER BUT I DO WANT TO APPEAL THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL MILITARY MEMBERS IN THE SAME SITUATION. AS A SERVICE MEMBER, HUSBAND, AND A FATHER, I AM DEEPLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY CAR. I SINCERELY WANTED TO REACH OUT AND SEE IF THERE IS ANY POSSIBLE WAY TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE OVERSEAS. YOUR THOUGHTS IN THIS MATTER WILL BE DEEPLY APPRECIATED, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. *TR
