VW, Audi In Huge Recall
(<a href="http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/ae_news_story.php?id=46449">story from Auto Express</a>)
More than 160,000 VWs and Audis are being recalled due to a front axle fault. The rubber boots on the axle can become damaged, leading to premature wear. Passats built from 1996-1999, A4s and A8s from 1994-1999 and A6s from 1997-1999 are affected. Owners are being offered a free service check, and should contact their local dealer.

I called AoA on Monday about this and was told...
there is no such recall. When I mentioned all the press about it, they said that maybe Germany is working on something, but that here in the US there is no pending recall.
I was inquiring because I had a '98 A6 for which I had to pay to replace an axle because the boot failed at 55,000 miles. I was trying to find out how to get reimbursed for the failure.
