Description of the problem	Our volkswagen tiguan 2013 was recalled last year for a faulty airbag clock spring which, if it went out, caused a loss of the drivers front airbag and also use of the horn. Our airbag and horn fully went out at that time, and we took the car in and had the clock spring replaced under the recall. Now, just more than a year later, the exact same thing has happened -- the airbag light has come on indicating that the airbags are out, the horn does not work nor do any of the electric controls on the steering wheel. We called our local vw dealer in stamford ct about this-- they have said they will charge us for a diagnostic and the repair since the car is currently not recalled, even though this is the exact same problem that was addressed under the recall last year. In addition, the first available appointment they are offering us is 30 aug -- two and a half weeks from today. They have said we could also bring the car in now, but that it will take them a week or more to get to it.
