Takata recall - clock spring airbag malfunction. my 2009 cc is not included in the recall however i am experiencing the same issues as the 2010 cc owners vehicle. the airbag light is on and steering wheel functions are not working. i took my vehicle to the volkswagon dealer and they diagnosed the clock spring issue same issue as the recall in model year 2010. if my vehicle has the same malfunction then it should be covered via the recall. the airbag malfunction is a serious safety issue and volkswagen should take precautions to prevent harm to owners of their vehicles

Takata recall vw is not able to tell when a replacement airbag will be available, nor assist with a replacement vehicle. the risks seem to be higher with older cars and given the age of my car this matter should be rated with urgency. it's been over a year since the takata issue was made public and it's unacceptable for a consumer to drive an unsafe car for such an extended period of time.

Issue happened after incident in august 2011 and progressively became worse. steering wheel will lose electrical power to controls (i.e. stereo controls) and causes airbag warning light to come on and horn will not function at all. dealer looked into issue and found that the clockspring needed replacement. clockspring replaced in steering wheel and airbag issue has been resolved but steering wheel control issue still remains along with not having a working horn. vw usa had no known fix for this issue as al wiring is in working order. dealership requested vehicle be brought back in for a further look. *tr
