Golf SV engine - affected by emissions recall?

I can find nothing in paperwork suggesting EA189 or EA288, my engine is coded as CRLB. Where does this leave me?

If it's a brand new Golf SV 2.0 TDI 150 then it has the EA288 EU6 engine and is not affected. You will find the EU6 rating expressed against 'K Type Approval' in the LH column and the number after it should begin with E6, signifying EU6.
