Reported at 30,000 miles, November 2004 Death

Drivers side door. Window fell suddenly, dropping into door. Already happened to passenger side door year before. The car is a 2000 VW jetta. This sounds like a recurring problem with vw's. How does a recall happen? How many times does it take to get a recall?
