I told them I would take the car home and fix it myself. All they did was tell me to call VWoA and see if maybe I could get them to bend. I argued for over an hour with the service manager, and the director of service only to have them both tell me that they contacted VWoA and VWoA told them that it would NOT be covered under anything and that I would have to pay for the repairs. I told them that I thought this repair should be covered under either a recall or power train warranty. after five days they told me that it was the power brake booster and that it was going to cost me $736.00 to get it fixed. I called the dealer and took the car back to them so they could diagnosis and fix the problem under warranty. I had the exact problems you describe in your link.
Trust me when I say there is NO SILENT RECALL.
