Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	My car is not currently included in recall 94g8/7v but is experiencing the exact issues outlined in the recall. My left, front, low beam headlight has gone out. The bulb is not burned out (tested on right side) and the high beam headlight still works. The car was stationary and idling when the light went out initially. I took the vehicle to the local vw dealership and was told it would cost me over $400 to fix the issue. I was told nothing about the active recall. Within a short time the light began working again but only for a few weeks. It has gone out again and has been out for several months. I understand my vin is not included, but as stated, my issue is identical to the recall and it should be included. I am asking what i can do to have my vin added to the recall. Thank you!

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.
