| Description of the problem | I wonder why i have not received a recall notice re: nhtsa campaign number 14v441000. My 2013 vw tiguan died while traversing a slight incline in an intersection. Fortunately no other cars were present. Vehicle was later towed to vw dealership. Work order failed to mention that auto died, instead service advisor wrote the following: "ck engine light on. Tech(s): 8563 warranty. Customer states check engine light is on. Scanned for trouble codes. Ran gffault p0192 fuel rail pressure intermittent. Performed test plan, checked fuel pressures, all within specs. Cleared codes, retested in am operating to specs, possible fuel level was too low in fuel tank, but vehicle is currently operating to specs." the instrument panel read range: 85 miles, which, in my opinion, discredits the conjecture that the fuel level in fuel tank was too low. Is there a way to facilitate receiving a recall notice? If so please advise. |
