Takata inflators despite the fact that I received a notice regarding this recall months ago, there is still no available resolution.

Aside from the uneasiness I continually feel, this has created much inconvenience.

Recall notice #15v48300; date 08/04/2015; air bags; frontal I was backing the car out of my driveway turning my steering wheel when I heard something rattling around in the steering wheel and then I heard a "snap" or "pop" and then an air bag error alert was displayed on the information panel, the air bag light illuminated, and I lost the electronic controls on my steering wheel. The car is currently at the dealership and the quote to repair the issue is around $550. Unfortunately for me, my VIN is not included in the recall notice 15v483000 for 2010-2014 passat sedans, so I am called vw to complain and hopefully they can do something to help with the cost of repairs since there are 2010-2014 passat sedans that are affected by the recall, just not mine.
