I sometimes wonder if I am the only one on here that has never had any of the recalls done? 2000 Vert A4.
I installed the CLB this past summer, potential problem solved.

Yes, the column lock is an issue.........but we probably never hear anything from the 1000's that had the recall done and never had any problems!

My original owner had the first recall done. The only trouble I had was when the OE battery died, I got the message but didn't lock up. I had the CLB installed after that and so far am living happily thereafter, why take a flatbed chance?
