Description of the problem	I've had oil consumption issues for a couple years... But was always brushed off by the dealer being told it's 'within vw speck' until the warranty expired (they also never documented these visits). Then miraculously they found an issue which was now a $3000 fix. I took it for a 2nd opinion to another vw dealer and was told the turbo didn't not need to be replaced. Now my car is complete failure due to the timing chain skipping and also fired all the pistons at once. Now it's a $7500 repair to fix the turbo and the engine. No warning lights came on; no oil light; no issues driving it. It worked perfectly until i tried to start it to leave. Neither one of the dealers will accept responsibility and vw of america refused to help with this 'warranty issue'. (i have my entire service record)

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.

Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
