Description of the problem	Rear main oil seal needed to be replaced. It was compromised by excessive pressure in crankcase because pcv breather was not functioning. There was no check engine condition prior to the rear seal being compromised. Rear main seal replacement costs $1146, parts and labor. Pcv valve was also replaced. I noticed an oil leak on garage floor, which led me to bring it into service for a technician to inspect. I would like vw to compensate for some of the costs for this repair.

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.
