Default '99 A6 Bumper???

Hey whats this I hear about A6's?
I went to my dealer yesterday and they told me that the bumper is on recall...they are changing my whole front bumper and some beams on the passenger doors...anyone ever hear of this? (I'm getting a brand new bumper I'm not complaining cuz my stock one is scratched but I'm just curious to know what the actual problem with the bumper is)

The bumper hangs pretty low and if your not careful it will catch on parking blocks and pull the bumper loose when you back up. As far as I know the recall is just a modification of the attaching points for the front bumper. There is no replacement of the bumper.
