Re: All are voluntary (by Audi)... (archive)

: The recall, prompted by the death of a German Journalist (thus bringing into question the reliability of information presented by the interested parties) is voluntary on every continent in every nation.

: Voluntary indicates that Audi took action without being instructed to by the governing Authorities in all countries involved.

: Try this artical for a different slant on the recal if you like.

: Most TT fans will tell you the recall is unnecessary.

: BTW I've gone into a high speed turn with the TT without difficulty or instability.

: : The recall is mandatory only in Europe, here it's voluntary. According to A4.org, the fix consists of essentially an all new susension (control arm, shocks, and sway bars), some improved underneath cladding, plus the spoiler. Some of the parts won't be available for a while, such as the spoiler, which will be out in February.

: : By the way, it would make me question the design, because I know the M3 is not prone to high-speed instability. Even with a "fix," I'd still think twice about going into a high-speed turn.
