If the recall hasn't been done then they should still do it.

i believe that vw have stopped doing it for free now as mine needed doing but i was told i would have to pay for it as the recall has run its course. unless thats just my dealer.

I dont think vw ever announced the official end to this recall. maybe your dealer is being awkward?
