    Reimbursement for DRC

    Was reading some posts on audizine about drc on rs7 and according to some of the posters there: "RS6 C5 and RS4 B7 owners were getting reimbursed years after warranties expired because of DRC. Some owners were receiving reimbursement for fitting aftermarket suspensions."

    Is that true?

    Documented flaws with original design that were being chased as part of a class action lawsuit. Recall was performed in North America only - remainder of C5 cars were not covered.

    The recall has expired I believe. If you had already replaced the suspension you can get reimbursed but I was not able to because I didn't have aftermarket already on my car when the recall came out. They did perform the recall though.
