Steering Linkages problems of the 1998 Audi Quattro

I received a recall notice from alldata #99v248000, I took my car to the dealer to get the replacement and they told me the car is not covered, however I do need tie rods. Because of the seriousness of the failure I feel Audi should cover my car, as this is an out of the ordinary replacement for the miles on the car and other cars have needed the same thing. Is my car not covered? how come Audi says one thing and alldata and NHTSA say something else. What is my recourse? who do I contact? could I get in an accident if I don't fix these immediately?.
