Description of the problem	Takata recall: i brought my 2007 passat to kuhn vw in tampa, fl. At first they refused to fix the recall, because vw was coming out with another one in a few months and they wouldnt receive payment for the first one. I came back 2 months later in july 2018 and had the recall completed. I decided to drive the vehicle when i returned from work in oct 2018 and the horn and steering wheel buttons no longer work, the very next day, i get a airbag fault on the dash. I'm not sure, since kuhn never said, if the two were related. They wanted to charge me $129 for a diagnostic, which i refused and complained, then they did it for free and stated that its the clock-spring? I find it ironic that the clock spring would go out after installing this recall. Reading some of the other complaints which some have stated the same problem. Kuhn offered to replace the clock spring for $400+, which i cant afford.

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.
