Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The drivers side front seat belt air bag sensor went bad. The vw dealership said the parts have been discontinued. This is a major safety hazard! There have been many complaints about this same issue i have seen, i can't believe that vw hasn't issued a recall on this by now! The air bags will not work in the event of an accident, this could lead to death! Again there needs to be action taken and a recall issued before anyone gets seriously injured or killed! My seatbelt air bag light came on while i was driving causing me to pull over thinking that maybe the belt wasn't fastened all the way. The light wouldn't go out so i drove it to a garage where it sat until today still not fixed due to part being discontinued! Again safety hazard as the air bags are non functional!

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.
