Description of the problem	The rear of the vehicle dropped 5" to 6" after driving approx. 400miles. The driver side wheel well is 1. 5" from the tire & the passenger side is 2" away. The wheel well has a "warped" wheel well. The springs seems to be locked or dropped. Looking at the atlas in profile the rear is lower than the front. Before the trip i was able to walk under the tailgate when open without hitting my head & now the rear of the vehicle is low, i have to bend over to prevent hitting my head. Please note, i am not a trained service tech. I am an owner; i am doing a process of elimination for why the rear is lower. I searched google & found that in february volkswagen recalls 6,322 vehicles to repair faulty rear springs. But my vehicle was not listed on the recall. I am out of state from my purchased dealer & the local dealer does not have a recall listed as "faulty rear springs" for my vin. We have 20

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
