Description of the problem	My vehicle experienced an intake manifold failure and required replacement. This is a widely known and documented issue with older version vw intake manifolds. There is also an extended warranty applied to vw intake manifolds which i have added as a document below. Vw claims that my intake manifold is not covered by the extended warranty even though my car has the same ccta engine and same intake manifold as the ones described in the notice. The warranty extension should apply to any of the vw vehicles that have affected intake manifolds. The intake manifold was completely redesigned by vw in 2017 to address specific issues with the older version of the intake manifold as described in this video done by a vw expert and documented universally. As you can see in the date and records, this update was released after my 2016 vw tiguan was built, so my car has the old version of the intake manifold. The old version sku is 06j133201bd and the new version sku is 06j133201bh which i have linked below which additionally supports my claim. The warranty extension on the intake manifold by vw was too narrowly applied since there are more vehicles with the same engine and same intake manifold that are experiencing the same issue. Please advise vw to extend the warranty to all affected vehicles including the 2016 vw tiguan. Video of intake manifold update - https://www. Youtube. Com/watch?

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