Description of the problem	On 1 september 2017, i parked my vw in my garage. There were no engine lights on or anything, but the car had been making a loud fan like noise after i removed the key fob from the ignition. Its been doing that since i bought it. I didn't start the car back up until 5 september 2017 after returning from a weekend with family. When i started my vw up i noticed that the engine light was now illuminated. I waited about a week before i took any action hoping that the light would just go away on its own, but it didn't. On 12 september i took the car to the nearest autozone and took advantage of their free engine light diagnostic check. The error codes read "p0171 system too lean (bank 1)" and "p12a2 fuel rail pressure sensor inappropriately high." at the top of the paper it stated that the most likely solution for these error codes was to replace the fuel pump. Once i returned home i called the local volkswagen dealership and told them what the problem was, they told me that there was a recall out for my model vehicle, but there is no fix at the moment. I then went online to see for myself, the manufacturer recall number is: 20ae and the nhtsa manufacturer number is: 17v509. I am not sure what caused the vehicle to randomly start having these issues. I do not feel safe driving the car out of town anymore, i only drive it to and from work.

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.
