Takata inflators. I went and got my fuel pump recall completed months ago and my local dealer didn't have the parts to complete the airbag recall. They said it takes about a month or two to receive the part and it has been much longer than that and they still aren't able to complete the recall on my vehicle. My airbag light has recently come on and I saw that there is also a recall for a clock spring. I got my car checked by a mechanic and was told I would need a clock spring replacement. I notified volkswagen of this and was told my car was not apart of the recall but how can that be when the effected models are volkswagen cc 2011-2014. They are refusing to make repairs on my vehicle. I am 8 months pregnant and feel very unsafe on my commute to and from work. My local dealer is unreliable as they are never able to complete repairs.

From the volkswagen recall site re: steering wheel air bag & clock spring. Summary: volkswagen group of america, inc. (volkswagen) is recalling certain model year 2010-2014 volkswagen cc vehicles. In the affected vehicles, debris may contaminate the air bag clock spring, a spiral wound, flat cable that keeps the air bag powered while the steering wheel is being turned. This contamination may tear the cable and result in a loss of electrical connection to the driver's frontal air bag. Consequence: a loss of electrical connection to the driver's frontal air bag will prevent the air bag from deploying in the event of a vehicle crash, increasing the risk of injury. The local vw dealer says our car is not included however, nothing works on the steering wheel and the air bag warning light in the dash is on. When contacting vw direct I am told the federal safety agency is responsible for expanding the recall to include our VIN. Questions? Is our car safe to drive? If we have a front end collision will the steering wheel air bag work? If the federal safety agency is aware of 420,000 recalls for this same issue will the recall be expanded to cover other VIN? This is an expensive fix and all logic tells me it should have been included in the original recall.
