2014 AUDI A4 ALLROAD Complaints

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR DISCONNECTING ELECTRIC COOLANT PUMP. I CALLED TWO DEALERS AND THEY SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY PARTS AND DID NOT KNOW WHEN THE PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE. HOWEVER, THE RECALL NOTICE STATES "UNTIL THE RECALL WORK IS DONE, YOU SHOULD PARK OUTDOORS AS A PRECAUTION IN CASE OF A VEHICLE FIRE DUE TO THE SAFETY DEFECT". I WAS TOLD TO KEEP CALLING BACK TO SEE IF THEY HAD ANY PARTS IN. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE IF MY CAR COULD CATCH ON FIRE. WHO CAN HELP ME WITH THIS??
