I'm sure it will hamper performance, and mileage. According to the EPA, the recall will not be mandatory (perhaps if the vehicle is sold one would need the recall to be performed prior to registering to a new owner), and you would still pass your state emissions tests for the most part anyway so its a non-issue for me.
Once the warranty is up I plan on chipping the car anyway so personally its not really an issue I'm concerned about. However, if VW sold a car claiming 40+ mpg, and a software update was mandated to correct their false advertisement reduces mileage by 10-15% or more as well as engine performance, you bet I'd be looking for a reimbursement of sorts by VW, because we would have bought a non-diesel model if that was the case and obviously we paid a bit of a premium for the diesel based on VW's pricing and diesel pricing in general.
Funny thing is, I wanted my wife to get a CC 2.0T, she fell in love with the diesel wagon though.
