My VW Golf 2001 with 2.0L gasoline engine has a O2 sensor problem. But dear could not found any recall on my car. Since there is a massive recall on O2 sensors and my car fit in the category, and it broken down right after the warrenty expires, it should be included in this recall. Also the massive air flow sensor fails after the warrenty, which it is not fixed until it has been in the dealer for 3 times!
