Description of the problem	Vehicle engine suddenly began idling roughly while stopped at city street intersection. While driving the engine still felt rough and would occasionally stop running. After getting it to a vw service mechanic it received the following diagnostic - "check engine light: found camshaft spool valve has come apart. Found cam shaft bearing bracket oil screen damaged." at 81,000 miles this car should not exhibit such problems. There appears to be a recall on 2015 vw tiguan engines related to the same part, cam shaft. I reached out to vw for any info about this, and have not received any response.
