I see you found the other forum I had posted in about this. I did post some links in there too with a little more info.

Yep, been doing a lot of searching. I talked to Customer Care and they told me that my PZEV was eligible, that my state was covered and to bring it to the dealer. She then gave me someone else's claim number. So, I took it in to the dealer and they diagnosed the stuck actuator and called VW Warranty. VW denied the claim based on my reg state.
So, I talked with Cust Care again and they confirmed that their rep gave me bad info and nothing could be done to compensate for that. I am about 4900 miles over the Federal emissions warranty, so out of luck. $2300 for a new turbo, though I am looking into alternatives now.
So...watch out for VW Cust Care and, if you get sporadic EPC lights (like I have for a long time), get it into the shop pronto.
