I just called Sunset (Porsche) Audi here in Portland OR about the rear track control arm recall on 2000-2001 TT's and they said that they had "just heard about it" [though AoA surreptitiously released the info late last year]. Hmmm. In any case, it hadn't yet been done on my 2000 TTQ. October is the earliest they can get me in...!

Thanks, AudiWorld, for keeping us up to date.
