Description of the problem	My 2005 volkswagen beetle has the warning lights on for the airbag. The repairman diagnosed it as codes p1738 and p1739 which indicate the frontal crash sensors for the driver and passenger sides. 76,900 cars under recall 08v178000 have the same issues for this. My vin was not included. The vw dealer is not willing to fix, i feel i am being penalized by having to pay 500. 00 to repair a known problem. I will never own another vw again if this is what i can expect.

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.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
