Description of the problem	Takata recall. I received a recall from vw for the takata airbag. In the description, on cars. Com, it says "in the affected vehicles, debris may contaminate the air bag clock spring, a spiral wound, flat cable that keeps the air bag powered while the steering wheel is being turned. This contamination may tear the cable and result in a loss of electrical connection to the driver's frontal air bag. Consequence a loss of electrical connection to the driver's frontal air bag will prevent the air bag from deploying in the event of a vehicle crash, increasing the risk of injury." this is exactly what has happened to my vehicle. Nothing on my steering wheel works, not even my horn. I went to vw, and they replaced the takata air bag, but did not replace the broken clock spring because they say my car was not included in the recall for the clock spring. I think this is a major safety concern. I was told that my driver side airbag will not deploy in the event of an accident. One of the reasons i purchased this car was for the airbags and the safety features. How is there not a recall on my vehicle. It did exactly what said "may happen."
