[A6] JE recall

[David Kavanagh]

I talked with the local dealer this morning to schedule my car. They
said they first check for the problem, then if replacement is
required, it will take about 2 hours. They say that it only covers the
lower control arms, so if uppers are bad, we foot the bill (or DIY,
like me). I did notice some noise when in a parking garage in Ottawa
(while on vacation a few weeks back). Every time I'd go over speed
bumps, I noticed some creaking... Thought it almost sounded like a
motorized adjustment type sound... wierd... this is probably it!

PS. If anyone wants, I can scan the recall letter and post the web address...
