Description of the problem	I have a 2015 gti that has only 80,000 miles on it. I had a repair done to replace valves, coil springs, spark plugs and ignition coils last year due to failure of the engine. They claimed to fix this problem and a year later the same exact failure happened. The first time it cost 3,500 to fix with a customer loyalty discount. This time they suggest replacing the engine at a 14,000 price tag. There is clearly some design flaw that is causing this repeated failure in such a new car. Volkswagen doesn

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.
