[BiturboS4] (no subject)-Fan Guard Recall

[jy]

This is a legitimate recall. I received a letter from Audi North America and
took my Y2K S4 to my local Audi dealer. The service mgr said "that a few
fingers had the unfortunate fate of meeting some S4 fan blades."
Supposedely, this was a known fact amongst Audi service dealers.
