Turned in my 2010 Jetta TDI Cup Edition to VW, DSG, Nav, Sunroof / Replaced with a 2015 Passat TDI SEL Premium
If it failed every 3,000 miles, the 48,000 mile warranty should give you plenty of time to find that out and get rid of the car. Maybe VW wants to buy it from you at some point, since the repairs are on their dime. :D

Mine has lasted now 10,000 miles after the replacement.
If it failed again within the extended warranty period, that would be a strong incentive to get rid of the car before the warranty runs out.
Alternatively, if one wanted to keep it, and the state has no real emission checks, one could have the DPF replaced with a down pipe at the first failure out of warranty. It would still be a pretty clean car, just not as clean as with the DPF.
One would also require a tune to turn off all regen aspects associated with cleaning a DPF that would no longer be present.
