Description of the problem	I own a 2013 passat and my airbag light came on after my warranty expired a little over a year ago; only to be told by volkswagen it would be my responsibility until i reached out to your office and my matter was investigated only to find that l as million other customers were also affected and a recall was initiated and my vehicle was included as a result. I received another email (enclosed) that informed me of another recall, but my 2007 new beetle was not included although the airbag light is on as well . After speaking with vw; they were unable to confirm if my 2007 should be included because most of the complaints has been on either the 2007 jetta or the passat according to the vw rep.. There has been a complete cover-up by vw, and i believe all models has been affected and the takata airbag is in my 2007 as well and should be included as they are unable to definitively say that my car does not have that particular brand. I believe it does and should be a part of the current recall as well. The letter clearly says some 2007 models. I am very grateful that your office took such swift action with my first complaint which confirmed that my issue was not an isolated incident rather worldwide and a huge cover up on the part of ww. No one should ride around unsafe and i ask that you take my complaint into consideration by adding the new beetle to the list as well. Enclosed is the letter sent from vw. Thank you :)

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.
