Description of the problem	After driving my 2011 tiguan fine a couple times earlier in the day, i came back to my parked car, and turned it on. When i did this my airbag light came on with an "error: airbag" message on the display. After this happened, i notice the horn and other electrical features of the wheel didn't work. I took it into the shop, and their said the clock spring needs replaced. It wasn't until after all of this that i found out there had been a recall. I was never notified of this recall before. Although the clock spring needs replaced, the vw service center said they cannot get the clock spring part to replace it. They couldn't tell me a time that the part would be available.
