Buying a used 2025 Volkswagen Tiguan? Check these 3 recalls first
The 2025 Tiguan has 3 recalls in this group: a loose rear tie rod bolt, possible passenger air bag deactivation, and a software glitch that can stall the engine. These span suspension hardware, occupant protection, and engine operation. Its 58 NHTSA owner complaints are unverified reports, including 18 electrical system, 14 unknown or other, 14 forward collision avoidance, and 13 engine complaints. Review recall completion alongside any documented stalling, warning messages, or collision avoidance concerns.
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.
- Verify rear tie rod bolt recall completion.
- Obtain passenger air bag and engine stall software recall records.
- Ask about stalling, electrical warnings, and collision avoidance faults.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Volkswagen dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
