Other Fuel System Hoses Lines/piping, And Fittings problems of the 2003 Audi A4

In March 2009, I heard some loud noises from the area over the fuel tank. I took it to my mechanic and they could not identify as it was intermittent. They finally determined that it was the fuel filter and it would need replaced but not urgently. A couple of days later, the car stalled and would not restart. Luckily it stalled as I turned into the grocery store parking lot. I had it towed and it was determined that the fuel pump had failed. My mechanic was surprised as it was unusual that it would fail as the car had on 47k miles. The pump and filter were replaced. I was not made aware that there was a recall and it appears that my particular vehicle was not part of the recall, but I am suspicious as I recently read about the recall through the NHTSA through my progressive insurance. I also did not take the vehicle to the dealer to replace as there was no recall for my vehicle regarding the fuel pump.
