Horn Assembly problems of the 2015 Volkswagen Golf

Clock spring broke. This is a known issue and recall for previous years, but apparently not mine. Symptoms are airbag light on, inoperable steering wheel accessories including horn. This is a safety issue. It should be recalled. First knowledge of this problem was upon starting first thing in the morning. Car was parked in the garage.

I was turned my steering wheel to parallel park today and heard a 'click' from the steering wheel. My airbag light immediately came one. I did some investigation, and my problem is exactly what is described in this article: https://autoweek. Com/article/recalls/NHTSA-investigate-415000-vw-vehicles-airbag-issue my horn is not working. Additionally, I have lost electrical control on all buttons on the steering wheel. This includes volume buttons, hands-free phone control buttons, and the button that changes the digital dashboard display.

I was in hayward on the 880 freeway (flat, dry road) in rush hour traffic, in the hov lane going about 40 mph, and my vw e-golf just shut down and showed the error "electrical system failure: stop!". I had enough momentum to coast 5 feet over to the left side (center divider) I could not make it completely out of the lane. Cars were laying on their horn and speeding past me while my bumper hung out a foot into the lane. The car is 3 months old. It had a charge of 86 miles when it happened, I had it on a charging station it showed I charged my car accumulated (kwh): 29. 523. The radio, windows, bluetooth and all other electrical powered instruments still worked. I pressed the power button off and turned it on again , the error still remained, and the car would not "turn on".
