And in a funky twist, 

1.  You can see the VINs of the specific 46 cars that are affected.  Go to

http://tech.vw.com/audipdf/KVcampcirc.pdf

and look at page 2 of the document.  (You'll need the Adobe Acrobat viewer.)

2.  Audi of America is also sending a letter to every other TT owner in the USA,
reassuring them that their car is NOT affected by this recall, and they don't
need to worry.
