Description of the problem	Airbag light on for second time, vehicle is out of warranty, has cost me so far $110 for a dealer to check and $117 for parts not to count my labor for replacement which would have been an extra $400 or so. I believe vehicle falls under a recall for the same problem and during the replacement of the bad parts i found the bad parts mentioned in the recall no. 08v178000 on my vehicle which i still have. Was told that my vehicle, was not part of the recall by vw america but according to the document no. Rcmn-08v178-2838. Pdf found on this web site under defects & recalls, is in fact one of the vehicles that should have received a recall notice for this problem. I would like to be able to have my repairs finished, which should only require the airbag computer to be reset and my previous cost and possible labor charge refunded to me by vw of america.
