Not yet. The recall of these cars and the "fix" for the problem will almost certainly be observable. Either by poor vehicle performance as the software patch dials down engine performance and improves engine emissions, or by the addition of hardware in the car in the form of a new adblue tank taking up space in the trunk. And don't forget the decrease in resale value.
