The VW Cc 2010 and other Cc models have a "tray" between the trunk and the back window that cracks with age depending on how much sun the car is exposed to. Cars under warranty will get the part replaced for free. The cost of the part is $200 and is bound to crack again due to the curvature in the design and the material.

Takata recall, I recently purchased a used VW Cc 2010 and later found out about this scary airbag recall. I contacted VW to find out if my car has already been serviced and found out the service is not available yet. No incident has happened but I'm nervous driving around with a defective airbag that may potentially kill whoever is driving the car. My adult son also drives it.
