Buying a used 2022 Volkswagen Taos? Check these 6 recalls first
Fuel and stalling define this year. Two critical recalls cover a fuel line connector that can leak gas and a fuel pump that can fail and stall the engine; two more address engines stalling when coming to a stop, one specific to all-wheel drive. A rear suspension part that can break and a blank backup camera round it out. NHTSA holds 313 unverified owner complaints, 142 under engine and 63 service brakes, with 4 crashes reported.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Confirm the fuel pump and fuel line connector recalls were both completed.
- Test-drive in stop-and-go traffic, watching for stalling as it comes to a stop.
- Ask about engine software updates and any repeat stalling repairs.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Volkswagen dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
