Yeah... I want to be reimbursed. I even asked VWoA for any assistance back in 2015 and they told me no.
LOL, 6 months after I fix mine. Well better late than never!

my vin# does NOT show any results yet... addle:
2009 GTI 2.0T PZEV 2-DOOR MANUAL
We could not find recall/service campaign information about this vehicle because:
.
- This vehicle does not have an open recall/service campaign;
- A recall/service campaign was issued more than 15 years ago; OR
- There was an internal server error
I don't think it's going to show up until Volkswagen starts sending letters. I pulled up all the PDFs on NHTSA regarding the recall. VW sent the notice to NHTSA on 1/6/17 that they would be performing a recall. They haven't stated when they're going to send out the letters yet.
I looked up the first vin in the vin range they listed on these documents and that vin doesn't even show a recall in place yet but its clearly part of it on their documents. The recall just doesn't show yet since it's still new probably.
Just got off the phone with a batshit crazy VW Care rep. I noticed the same thing as above - that the same VINs that begin and end the range of affected vehicles for the recall are nowhere to be found in VW's recall system. The rep insisted to me that just because a VIN is at the beginning and end of the range doesn't mean it's affected!(???) When I said, "Why would you start the range of affected VINs with vehicles that are not affected?" she scoffed at me and said I didn't understand how recalls work.
:lol:
anyway, I am currently dealing with this exact issue - ABS light is on, brake light flashing, power steering goes out, EPC and Engine Fault Workshop come on - and it's dangerous but I don't have the $2600 the dealer quoted me to fix it.
Really hoping there's just a delay in issuing the recall but everyone at VW seems to insist they would have issued the recall for my VIN by now if it was affected—even though I'm the exact candidate the NHTSA seems to be mentioning. addle:
Any updates or insights you guys get, please post here.
I wouldn't worry. As you said it wouldn't make sense for the VIN at the start and end range to not be part of the recall...
Take a look at this which is in one of the three PDF documents on the NHTSA regarding the recall:
"Remedy:
Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will update the ABS control module software to improve the module's self-testing abilities. Any module that fails the new diagnostic test will be replaced. These repairs will be made free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provide a notification schedule."
Based on the bold (yes, it says 'provide' not 'provided'), they've notified NHTSA of the recall and their plan to notify owners with a letter, but they haven't established when that will happen yet. Once the letters start going out I'd expect the VINs to be loaded for everyone to check.
All I know is I'm getting my refund...addle:
