Airbag clock spring broke while I was driving. Why wasn't my vehicle covered under recall for the airbag clock spring recall number 15V483000? obviously more vehicles are affected. My airbag and instrument controls do not work now due to this safety issue.

My airbag light is on because my airbag clock spring has torn, which has resulted in a loss of electrical connection to the driver's frontal air bag. The steering wheel makes a clicking noise when turning after the airbag light illuminated to indicate an electrical failure.

2014 Volkswagen Passat was diagnosed with failure of the steering wheel clock spring resulting in loss of function for airbag, horn, and steering wheel control buttons. Airbag light was illuminated, and horn/buttons did not work. I took the vehicle in for repair right away. My VIN was not included in the existing recall (VW 69L2, NHTSA 15V-483) even though my issue appeared to be exactly the same concerns and symptoms as described in the existing recall notice. The current recall includes 2014 Volkswagen Passat cars manufactured in the us, but my vehicle was excluded. I had the vehicle repaired at a Volkswagen dealership (momentum Volkswagen of jersey village, houston, tx) at my cost of $544.01. Date of repair was 05-Jul-2017, vehicle mileage 80200.

Tamara recall the risks associated with this recall include serious injury and death to the passengers in the vehicle. I was notified of this recall on 6/19/17 by a serviceman at a dealership. I was notpreviously notified by the manufacturer. I hav recently learned that this recall was issued in 2/2016. I have since made the decision to purchase this vehicle from a lease. Information about this recall may have impacted my decision to purchase the vehicle. Regardless, I believe the associated risks are serious enough that an open recall for 17 + months is dangerous and simply unacceptable.

Takata recall I received a recall notice in the mail more than a year ago but in numerous calls to VW service they said they didn't have the parts to fix my car & that it isn't a safety issue in California. Now VW service dealership in salinas said there is no recall on my car even though www.safergov still shows an incomplete recall. Now my horn stopped working, the airbag light is lit on the dashboard and my steering wheel is making noises when I'm steering. This is a dangerous situation. I can't honk as warning and I don't think the airbag will deploy and if it does it can cause injury or death.
