## Narrative
THE TRUNK PROTECTION PLATE (STAINLESS STEEL) AT THE LATCH CUTOUT AREA IS RAZOR SHARP CAUSING ME TO CUT A CHUNK OF MEAT OUT OF MY FINGER TO THE BONE REQUIRING MEDICAL ATTENTION.  I CALLED VW AND THEY STATED THAT THE CONSUMERS SAFETY WAS NOT THEIR CONCERN.  I FEEL THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE TO RECALL THIS PART AND FIT IT WITH A PROTECTIVE GASKET OF SOME SORT.*AK
