Alan-
The recall notice I received indicated that that it was possible for the AC
duct to fall, and that their repair would consist of (essentially)
installing a simple bracket to more securely support the duct.  However, I
can't say that I did not disassemble the rascal to check it out (let
sleeping dogs lie, etc.).

I would imagine that you are right, that the PO probably had it done (since
VW sent notices and freebie coupons), but it would seem like it was poorly
done.  I guess I was wondering if it could be "re-repaired" by the VW folks
given the apparently inadequate job performed earlier.  However, if the PO
was not really near an authorized shop, it may have escaped uncorrected.

By the way, congrats on the new family member.  I hope everyone is healthy
and in good spirits!
