There is currently a recall for the tie rod seals on the 1999 A4.  Would
someone please clue me in on how long I can expect to have my car out of
service?

A summary of the recall is as follows:

Vehicle Description: Passenger vehicles. The tie rods of the steering
assembly are protected on each side by a seal to prevent moisture and dust
particles from entering the swivel bearing mechanism. It is possible that some
tie rod seals may not seal properly.

If moisture and/or dust particles enter the swivel bearing mechanism, the
swivel
bearing could wear over time diminishing the steering control of the vehicle.
Dealers will replace the tie rods.

If you live in the U.S. you can do a recall search at:

Thanks everyone!
