Buying a used 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan? Check these 5 recalls first

5 NHTSA recalls · 266 owner complaints on file

The 2022 Tiguan has 5 recalls in this group, including a potentially loose brake pipe nut, rear suspension cracking, rear spoiler detachment, and two rearview camera display issues. Brake and suspension repair documentation stands out in the recall review. The 266 NHTSA owner complaints are unverified reports, with 111 engine, 62 electrical system, 49 unknown or other, and 43 lane departure complaints. Those complaint areas merit their own service-history review alongside recall completion.

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. Obtain brake pipe nut and rear suspension recall completion records.
3. Verify spoiler and camera recall repairs; check reverse image operation.
4. Ask for engine, electrical, and lane departure repair history.
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.
