Buying a used 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan? Check these 5 recalls first

5 NHTSA recalls · 190 owner complaints on file

The 2019 Tiguan has 5 recalls in this group. Rear coil spring fracture and rear spoiler detachment are the main physical-component concerns; the remaining recalls address tire labeling, tire pressure monitoring software, and the key-in-ignition warning chime. Its 190 NHTSA owner complaints are unverified reports, including 56 electrical system, 40 engine, and 24 forward collision avoidance complaints. Recall completion records and documented electrical or engine repairs are useful parts of this vehicle's history.

Before you buy

1. 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.
2. Verify VIN-specific spring and rear spoiler recall completion.
3. Confirm tire label, pressure monitor, and warning chime corrections.
4. Ask for electrical, engine, and collision warning repair records.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Volkswagen dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
