Description of the problem	While driving in a 50mph road during rush hour traffic, the epc light came on and the vehicle lost power. I didn't want to pull over onto a narrow bike lane. The vehicle could not keep up with traffic; other drivers were forced to go around me. At the next stop light, i restarted the car. The epc light did not come back on, and the vehicle behaved normally again. I called the dealership, and they told me that if it happens again, that i should bring it in. I got the impression that this is a normal reboot process for a volkswagen, like having to reboot a windows pc if something goes wrong. I think the problem needs to be addressed before it happens again. Fortunately, i was driving the car, but after i told my wife what happened, she doesn't want to drive my car.

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.
