Steering Tie Rod Assembly problems of the 1999 Audi A6

Consumer stated found recalls 99v248000 and 00v414000 for tie rods. Consumer contacted Audi, and they stated there were no such recalls. Also stated there could be recalls, but they could be in dispute between NHTSA and Audi. Consumer did supply Audi with VIN. The consumer's vehicle had worn out tie rods that needed replacement. . This problem was noticed by the dealership about 3-4 months ago.

00 v 414 000/vw tie rods: consumer states, "this recall was performed on March 10, 2001". The vehicle was at the dealer for routine inspection. The mechanic informed the consumer that the tie rods needed to be replaces again. The consumer would like to know is this considered normal? that the problem has recurred with less then 48,015 miles of wear since the recall work was performed the dealer has been notified.

I went to the dealer for a service bulletin I received and they told me my tie rods were worn out. There is a recal NHTSA recall campaign number: 00v414000 andl(99v248000) for 99 A6 that says the tie rods wear out due to the seal failing. What do I need to do for Audi to address this.

Consumer's vehicle was having the same problems as mentioned in recall 99v248000 concerning tie rod assembly. Dealership would not repair free of charge because the VIN was not included.

Front suspension failures. Audi A6 front control arms and tie rod ends seem to fail prematurely. I have had to replace first 3 of the left control arms and tie rod end, and then 2 months later 3 of the right control arms and tie rod end on my 1999 Audi A6 with 53,000 miles.

Consumer stated tie rods ends grease boot tore causing tie rod ends to wear out and make clunking noise. Dealership refused to repair them under extended warranty policy so the tie rod ends were replaced at consumer's expense by independent mechanic.

Dealership refused to perform control arm recall repairs unless consumer paid to have the tie rod done by them.
