date and mileage of Phase 1 of the emissions modification.

extended warranty will be honored for 5 years or 60,000
miles, whichever occurs first, from the date and mileage of
the completion of Phase 2.

The 2015 has not seen the HPFP failures that were more common in the Mk6, and fewer DPF issues. Sunroof leaks accompany sunroofs.
HTH.
