Warranty extension--steering wheel clock spring

[vbrad26]

interesting that (so far) it's just repair under wtty and not recall. It mentions how your airbag can not work!?!?


just got my letter yesterday...no symptoms at the moment

Yes, it stated that the torn clock spring may cause the airbag loose it's electrical connection.
What I would suspect though, is that if this happens, your airbag light would come on, as mentioned in the letter (also states that controls may not function)
So it's not like VW is just going to let people cruise around with a bad clock spring without knowing there is a problem, you'll know.
I don't think that is worthy of a recall.


I got my letter a week or so back and one for my wife's Tiguan just showed up yesterday.

Just got my letter yesterday.
I filed it with my car stuff.

Is MK7.5 affected? My MY19 R makes a click noise (probably from the cancelling gears) every time I straighten the steering wheel while the turn signal is engaged (not the light tap).
