Description of the problem	My driver side headlight would randomly stop working. Sometimes when i was driving and other times when it was parked over night. For awhile i could move the light under the hood and it would work again but then i would hit a bump and it would stop. Eventually the light connection wouldn't work at all anymore and the vw dealership told me i needed to replace the entire light so i did. Now the passenger side light is doing the exact same thing. I noticed that there was a recall back in 2014 with the numbers 14v125000 and 94g8/7v explaining exactly what is happening to my car but it appears that my vin number does not have this recall under it. I have the bill for my headlight replacement and a diagnosis of the car if needed.

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.
