Car Stall Problems of Audi A5

Loss of power while driving. I was driving and the car lost power and started shuddering, epc warning light came on and it seemed like it might stall. Since I was driving I pushed in the clutch and coasted to a stop. I shut it off and restarted it and it worked normally so I drove home. I drove it the next day and had no problems. On a following day it did the same thing, loss of power, shaking, not working right. Sometimes it seemed just fine other times it had problems. I took it to a shop to have diagnosis and they discovered water in the engine computer connector and traced it to a cooling valve leak that allows water in the connector at the valve to enter the 2 wire connector and apparently the water wicks up the control wire to the computer connector and shorts out connections to coils and other engine electronics. I searched the web for information and discovered that this is the same issue that has affected 2010 - 2013 Audi a8 and the car was recalled. See 16v619000. I'm wondering why my 2013 A5 that had the exact same problem was not recalled. I have picture of the engine computer showing water that was in the connector and pin 35 is green. The 2 wire connector was removed from the valve and has issues, it is connected to pin 35 of the ecm.
