Default control rod problem?

Hi

somebody here mentioned a potential problem with the control rods on A4's.
what's the story on this?

my co-worker was rambling about how VW had a recall on a part with the same #, but not Audi.
The dealer explained it to him (owner of a Rx7, BMW -3, and 11 yr-old Legend) that Audi is reluctant to announce recalls because of image issues.

but the point is, is there an issue with this part? or not?

thanks

-G-
