2009 VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2009 Volkswagen Tiguan has 5 recalls, the most serious involving fuel pump connections that can collect deposits and reduce fuel delivery, causing the engine to stall and leaving the driver without power. A separate fuel system issue can also cause stalls: in cold weather, winterized fuel can form bubbles in the fuel system that cut engine power unexpectedly. On the electrical side, two recalls address the same underlying problem with the exterior lighting circuit. A fuse in that circuit can overheat, melt its holder, and damage the fuse box, resulting in partial loss of exterior lights and reducing how visible the vehicle is to other drivers at night. The fifth recall is a compliance filing covering regulatory requirements across several Volkswagen models, with the 2009 Tiguan among the affected vehicles.
