  Safety recall 19N4 (nhtsa 18v229) was issued in june 2018. attached notice indicates that vehicle should be parked outdoors as a precaution, to avoid a fire caused by a short circuit within the electric coolant pump. Recall repairs are not anticipated until late 2018. I do not want to wait 4 months to get a repair since this IS an obvious safety issue. I talked to my local service person at audi danvers, ma who confirmed the recall repair IS not yet available. I also emailed audi USA but have not received a response. what can I do to get this rectified?

  I purchased this vechiled 10 months ago. at 800 miles, the engine light came on. the crankshaft, throttle body and cam adjuster were all reported to audi USA and repaired or replaced. I was informed by the dealer they wanted to replace the engine. audi USA IS saying it was only a bracket. the car still pauses and jerks when accelerating, and has an annoyingly loud vibration. I am not confident in the audi brand anymore, and after 10 previously owned audi - I am moving on to their german competitor.
