I imported a VW Passat 2.0tdi 170PS a few months ago, as it turns out there was a recall for these cars on injectors. I've checked my engine code and it matches those eligible for the recall and I've checked the car and the recall has not been done (No recall sticker or any documentation).

Any help is much appreciated
