I took the '99 VW Jetta I recently purchased from a private party in to the VW dealership today to have them check why the brakelight was coming on (I figured it was the recalled part). They claim there are no longer any "campaigns" for the VIN on my car and that most likely the part has already been replaced or there's no recall for that model. I then ask them that if that's the case, and the brake light has come back on, wouldn't that still be the same issue (a defective part)? He then tells me no, once the recalled part is replaced it's pretty much done and that if I like, they can do a computer diag for $100 and that we could then go from there.
I've got a feeling this is straight up BS and that I should probably call the VW 1800 number.

yea def do. I had mine replaced, a year later, maybe not even, it went bad again. The dealership replaced it without hassle. The dealership by my house is awesome, they hook people up! Call that number and see if you qualify for the recall, bet ya do! Hey listen if you think you are getting hassled, you are allowed as a customer to ask for proof and documentation stating why things are the way they are. If you think you are further being treated unfairly then you file a complaint with BBB(better Business Bureau).
