Description of the problem	Because the vehicle also was tdi, vw bought the vehicle back from me on 21 december 2016, i. E., i no longer own the vehicle. I received a recall notice for the this car a few months ago and filled out the form telling addressee (vw) that they had bought my vehicle and i should not receive any more notices. I called vw this morning (28 july 2017) to get them to stop sending me recall notices. They told me they did not send it you did. They suggested that i contact the florida dmv, but that is more than useless: they do not send the notices and know that i know longer own the vehicle in question. Since vw was kind enough to sell me a replacement vw passat for less money than they paid me for the 2013 passat, i bought it. So, when i get a vw recall notice i think it is for the new one not the old one. This is very unpleasant, since we were on pins and needles from september 2015 until december 2016 wondering if the air bag was going to blow up in our faces. Can you find a way to stop sending me recall notices for this vehicle, please? It would be appreciated greatly. I will fill out the form again telling vw that i do not own the car, but having done that before and given that the told me today they had no way to stop the flow of notices from their end, i am asking you to please close the file on this vehicle as far as i am concerned. You need to send this notice to vw to tell them to fix the air bag in the car they bought back from me. Your help and cooperation in this regard would be appreciated greatly, thanks in advance in case you can do this for us.

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.
