This got me thinking, for those of you who go there for service, does this happen routinely?
Not on point but interesting.

Two days ago, wife received a phone call which from a person who claimed he was from Jenkins VW and was telling her about a recall with my 2015 Passat. Person had a not so heavy Asian accent.

I had not received anything from VW about a recall, bought car from another dealer and have had no work done at Jenkins. Person wanted to set up appointment for the recall work(headlamp problem) and claimed work would take 1 hour. Did not set up appointment and politely hung up. Looks like some type of scam where in they are getting person(s) into the shop and will find work to do like a high mileage check up. Found no recall on this car.
