I RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE, NHTSA # 18V229 FOR MY VEHICLE. REGARDING A COOLANT PUMP THAT COULD POSSIBLY EXPERIENCE A SHORT CIRCUIT AND OVERHEAT. IT WAS RECOMMENDED THAT THE VEHICLE BE PARKED OUTSIDE AS A PRECAUTIONIN CASE THERE WERE TO BE A FIRE BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. THERE IS NOT YET ANY PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX THIS. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING AROUND WITH THIS POTENTIAL PROBLEM. AND EVEN IF I PARK MY CAR OUTSIDE OF MY HOUSE, I LIVE IN THE WOODS SO A CAR FIRE WOULD LIKELY CAUSE A LOT OF DAMAGE ANYWAY. I FIND THIS TO BE UNACCEPTABLE AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF SOMETHING ELSE CAN BE REPLACED INSTEAD TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM, OR WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE.

I DO NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH MY CAR. BUT I HAVE ANOTHER IMPORTANT THING TO REMIND WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR INFORMING ANY RECALLS. MY CAR HAD FEW RECALLS PREVIOUSLY AND EACH TIME I GOT A NOTIFICATION. BUT FOR THE LATEST OPEN RECALL THAT MY CAR HAS, NO ONE INFORMED ME. THE RECALLING HAS BEGAN SINCE MAY 2017 AND NO ONE INFORMED THIS RECALL FOR NEARLY 4 MONTHS UNTIL I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP 2 WEEKS AGO FOR SCHEDULING MY SERVICE DATE. AND THE DEALERSHIP REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT IMY CAR HAS A RECALL. AND THIS RECALL IS MORE RISKY AND DANGEROUS AND WHAT IF SOMETHING HAPPENED. AND WHO WILL TAKE THE RESPONSIBILTY OF LOOSING MY AND MY FAMILY'S LIVES? AND EVEN THIS IS SOMETHING IMPORTANT RECALL THEY SCHEDULED ME FOR OCTOBER 6TH FOR TAKING CARE OF THE RECALL AND SERVICE. THIS IS SO DISSAPOINTED AND WHY NOBODY INFORM THESE RECALLS. WHO WILL TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY. I CALLED AUDI AND THEY SAID THEY ARE NOT SENDING ANY REMINDERS BUT NHTSA SEND NOTICES. PLEASE I NEED A CONSIDERABLE REPLY FOR THIS AND PLEASE NEVER LET THIS HAPPEN AGAIN.
