I think you're jumping the gun...  the original article states that the
info came from German news, so if the same recall is to happen in the
US, it's going to be quite a while.  I am not least bit surprised that
VW Customer Care (or Audi's equivalent, for that metter) doesn't know
about it yet.

You should wait until an official announcement from VWoA and AOA before
inquiring.
