Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I received a recall notice for the lower control arms on my 1998 audi a4. i contacted the dealer to schedule the service. they are going to inspect my control arms. if they need to be replaced i must pay for the replacement because i can prove that i had an audi technician look at the control arms at the regularly scheduled intervals. this seems very unsafe seeing how it affects the steering of the car. it also seems unusual an inspection of the control arms would prevent a failure of the control arms.*ak
