2012 VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2012 Volkswagen Tiguan has 4 recalls, the most serious being a fuel system issue where winterized fuel can form bubbles that cause the engine to stall unexpectedly while driving. Two recalls relate to regulatory compliance across various Volkswagen models, including certain Tiguans. In both cases the specific defects are not publicly detailed, but the filings note that vehicles may not meet all applicable safety standards, which can raise the risk of a crash, fire, or injury. There is also a minor instrument cluster issue where the electronic stability control warning light may not illuminate when the vehicle is first started after a fault has been detected, instead waiting until the vehicle begins moving before turning on. The regulator notes this particular issue does not affect how the stability control system itself performs.
