Re: anyone hear about a b4 recall (awglx)
I also heard something about this. Was on the radio I believe. I remember not caring much because it was MYs 96 thru 99 or 2000 I think. Definitely had something to do with axles or CVs though. Can't find any info on it.

VW recalls 870,000 cars
by Associated Press posted Apr 28, 2004
BERLIN -- Volkswagen AG is recalling 870,000 vehicles worldwide to check front axles for a potential problem, the company said Wednesday.
The German automaker's recall affects VW Passat models built between 1996 and 1999 as well as Audi A4 and A8 models built between 1994 and 1999 and Audi A6 models built between 1997 and 1999.
The recall is to examine rubber "boots" on the front axles, which can get damaged and in some cases cause failure of the bearing arm, Volkswagen said.
The company, based in Wolfsburg, Germany, expects that about one per cent of the vehicles affected by the recall will need repairs, spokesman Hans-Gerd Bode said.
