According to the NHTSA database, my vehicle is subject to two open recall campaigns: \u2013 69BY / 21V198 \u2013 Passenger Occupant Detection System (PODS) \u2013 20YF / 24V110 \u2013 EVAP Suction Pump  I currently reside in Ukraine, where the vehicle has been legally imported and registered. Despite the recalls being active and safety-related, the official Audi importer and dealers in Ukraine have refused to perform the repairs free of charge. They argue that these recalls apply only to the U.S. market and therefore decline service, which contradicts the global principle of mandatory recall repairs.  This situation puts me and other drivers at risk, as the unresolved recall issues directly affect vehicle safety. I kindly ask NHTSA to review this case and provide guidance on ensuring that recall obligations are respected internationally, or to instruct Audi AG / Audi of America to facilitate the execution of these recalls regardless of the vehicle\u2019s current market.  Attached, please find copies of my correspondence with Audi dealers in Ukraine and Audi of America.  Thank you for your assistance.
