2016 VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2016 Volkswagen Tiguan has 4 recalls, the most serious involving a faulty capacitor in the airbag control unit that can either disable the airbags entirely or cause them to deploy without a crash. A rear door child safety lock recall also affects certain vehicles built within a specific production window: the locks can fail to prevent children from opening rear doors from the inside, raising the risk of a child falling from a moving vehicle. The remaining two recalls are compliance-related, covering vehicles that may not meet all applicable regulatory requirements due to modifications made during an internal evaluation period or other unspecified noncompliance. Both carry a general risk of crash, fire, or injury but do not describe a specific mechanical defect.
