Idle Stabilizer Valve Recall: I'm sure it's old news but...

I doing research on issues that may pertain to my 1987.5 CGT. Anyway, I was browsing the recall notices at NHTSA and found that there is an official recall on the failed idle stabilizer vales that are so common on our cars. The recall affects
CGTs with build dates of 10/84-2/86. See link for details.<ul><li><a href="http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/problems/recalls/collect.cfm?make=AUDI&model=COUPE&Component=&year= 1986">http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/problems/recalls/collect.cfm?make=AUDI&model=COUPE&Component=&year= 1986</a</li></ul>
