Description of the problem	Not sure if this involves the takata recall or not. While was executing a righthand turn on a city street, i heard a snap/click from inside the steering wheel. Immediately, the airbag light turned on and i discovered the next day that the horn and steering wheel controls had stopped functioning. After doing some research, i discovered that 2013 tiguans were included in the steering wheel clock spring recall in 2015, so i checked to see if my car's vin was included. It wasn't, so i reached out to vw customer care and told them that my car was exhibiting the same issues that were outlined in the recall notice. They initially told me that my vehicle wasn't included because it didn't receive the faulty factory parts, then later changed their story to say that my vehicle already had been repaired in response to the recall. When i explained that the repair hadn't prevented the safety hazards, they told me that the recall repair is out of warranty so i would need to pay for the repair myself.
