and other parts internal and external. I contacted audi usa because I found out about an old recall notification. To which my family was never notified of such. I did some research and found out a range of vins that had been affected by this recall, and my vehicle fell within that range. I looked up more information within the nhtsa website and my vehicle should have been recalled by the downloaded file rcdnn-01v325-1789.Pdf. After numerous attempts to find information from separate audi advocates, one tells me there is currently nothing they can do. Because the recall was old and not open right now, I would need to take the vehicle and get it fix and keep the records. Audi usa and world wide knew of this problem and failed to notify everyone that owned this vehicle that was to be affected. Several years later not knowing of a problem from a part that has been recalled only on a few vehicles. A problem still exists to which could have resulted in serious injury or even death. *Jb
