Supposedly some seal might fail and leak fuel onto the engine.

Unrelated to the recall.  Auto or manual transmission?  Have you checked
oxygen sensors?  Filters?

They were supposed to start notifying us in mid-February but they've
been putting it off--I think that they're trying to narrow it down a bit
more so that they don't have to replace 223200 fuel injectors!  When I
called up Audi of America recently it sounded like the person I talked
to was reading from a script...I guess a number of people have called up
about that.  Incidentally she didn't show my car ('93 90) as having this
recall apply to it, but she did say that details are still coming down
on this one.

So basically don't hold your breath, but if your engine catches on fire
they'll probably foot the bill :)
