Description of the problem	There were no specific events leading to the failure, only time. The high mounted 3rd brakelight on my 2007 vw gti is failing. It's full of condensation, and that's causing the bulbs inside it to fail. When i went to replace them, the owners manual informed me that only the dealer could do so. Upon taking it to the dealer, they informed me that they would have the car several days as they had to dismount several body panels, cut them open, then replace the bulbs and glue everything back together. I was also warned to essentially expect body damage, and that the bill for all this would be substantial. All this to replace a bulb? That's insane, and i felt like that was a poor enough result that most people would deal with the safety issues instead of replacing it.

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.
