Re: Volkswagen of America RECALL!!!

["Kenneth P. Able" <kpa@wizvax.net>]

the recall DID happen..it is interesting to note though that I had to call
four VW dealerships..one said it didn't happen...another said only on 86
and onlder. yet another said on 87 also but not up to my production date.
the last one said  sure no problem. so the recall is in effect though Iam
not sure about the 88s. just dont take no for an answer...
