Audi recalled the passenger occupant detection system (PODS) but has not released a remedy yet. My car's system is defective leading to the passenger airbag being permanently turned off making it very unsafe for passengers. The local dealer refused to fix it without a remedy being available. Audi needs to get this pods recall complete before someone dies. Air bags
