I would imagine if your car is only going in for this recall, you should have it back same day. Mine took overnight because they had to do all of the other updates and 5K service.

NHSTA e-mail
Just recv'd an e-mail from NHSTA re: fuel line problem. Interestingly they also included a recall on A8/S8 titled "sunroof may shatter". You can check out Safercar.gov and sign up for the governments knowledge of any recalls, TSB's, investigations, etc.

Yup, I also received the recall letter. It suggests that the leak occurs with use over time. Have any leaks occurred as early as 3K miles? Any fires? Just curious if I can't get it in the shop immediately.
