1 Engine Stall problem

Failure Date: 12/24/2019

Water found in the air intake box during air filter change on my 2011 vw Touareg. Bottom 3. 5 inches of old filter was found wet when air box was opened. This is a serious issue as liquid water that enters the engine during operation can cause the engine to stall while in traffic resulting in a serious safety issue. Water or filter material ingestion into the engine can also result in catastrophic engine damage requiring engine replacement. This appears to be a known issue by vw with no action taken to date, despite numerous complaints from owners regarding this issue. I request that NHTSA investigate this issue and compel vw of north America to provide a fix and conduct a recall campaign as has been done in china and germany.
