According to Volkswagen\u2019s records, the recall repair was completed in 2016. The same defect has now reoccurred: the steering wheel controls, horn, and driver airbag are disabled again due to a failed clock spring.  This is a reoccurring safety defect that directly affects the airbag system. The airbag warning light is on, and the driver airbag is currently non\u2011functional.  I contacted Volkswagen corporate, and they confirmed that my VIN was included in the original recall and that the repair was performed. However, they are refusing to repair the defect again, stating that the recall is \u201cclosed\u201d and the warranty extension has expired, even though the original recall remedy has failed and the safety defect has returned.  Volkswagen also declined to provide a written denial. I am reporting this because the recall remedy appears to be inadequate, and the safety defect has not been resolved. The vehicle is unsafe to drive with the airbag disabled.  The clock spring failure disables the airbag, horn, and steering\u2011wheel controls.  The defect matches the symptoms described in the original recall.  The failure occurred without any modification or damage to the steering wheel area.  Volkswagen refuses to authorize a second repair despite the safety risk.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2011","productMake":"VOLKSWAGEN","productModel":"TIGUAN","manufacturer":"Volkswagen Group of America, Inc."}]}]}
