Some dealerships replace it or fix it with no questions asked, whereas others tell you to stick it up your pooper. You have nothing to lose by going to a dealership or two and showing it to them, but you'd have to get very lucky for any of them to replace/fix it for free.
Ugh.... Ive gotton plent of stuff replaced on my audi, that was recalled that have nothing to do with saftey. Recalls dont HAVE to be a saftey issue. The majority of them are because the company wants to save there **** from being sued. But yea you can have a recall on a non saftey item.

I had mine changed out also... My dealer gave me a 12,000 mile mark for warranty on the wing when I complained about it. I had 11,000 miles on it when it started to peel... I just got the new wing about a month ago, it took almost 5 months for me to get it... I sprayed an extra 2 layers of clear coat the next day just to be on the safe side since they said it's no longer covered under my warranty... God knows I don't want it to look like that again... Another thing is my friend received his too, brand new about 4 months ago and it's starting to peel again... Good luck fellas...
