Volkswagen Jetta and Taos Instrument Panel Display Failure high
The instrument panel in these vehicles may fail to show warning lights or gauges. This means the driver may not be able to see important safety information, such as the speedometer or warning lights, while driving. Not being able to see this information increases the risk of a crash. Dealers will update the instrument panel software and replace the instrument panel if needed, free of charge.
Volkswagen Taos Fuel Pump May Cause Stalling critical
In certain 2022 Volkswagen Taos vehicles, the fuel delivery pump may break. If it breaks, the engine can suddenly stall while the vehicle is being driven. A sudden stall like this can increase the chance of a crash.
Volkswagen Taos Software May Cause Engine Stall medium
Some Volkswagen Taos vehicles equipped with all-wheel drive have engine control unit software that may cause the engine to stall. This can happen as the vehicle is slowing down and coming to a stop. When the engine stalls, the vehicle loses power unexpectedly while it is still being driven on the road.
Volkswagen Rearview Camera May Fail To Display medium
Certain Volkswagen vehicles have a manufacturing problem with a memory module in the infotainment system. Because of this, the rearview camera image may fail to display. This means the vehicle does not meet a federal safety standard for rear visibility.
Volkswagen Tiguan, Taos Rear Suspension May Crack high
Volkswagen is recalling certain Tiguan and Taos vehicles, including the Tiguan long wheelbase version, because the left or right rear suspension knuckle may corrode. Over time, this corrosion can cause the knuckle to crack and eventually break. A second notice will be sent to owners once replacement parts become available. This problem can affect either the left or right rear suspension knuckle on the affected vehicles.
Volkswagen Taos Fuel Line Connector Can Leak critical
Under the hood, the connector that joins the fuel supply line may come loose and detach. When this happens, fuel can leak out into the engine compartment. A fuel leak can cause the engine to stall while driving, and if the leaking fuel reaches a spark or other ignition source, it can also start a fire.
Volkswagen Taos engine software may cause engine stall high
Volkswagen is recalling certain 2022 Taos vehicles equipped with all-wheel drive. The software in the engine control unit, the computer that manages the engine, may cause the engine to stall as the vehicle comes to a stop. Dealers will update that software free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 5, 2021. Volkswagen's number for this recall is 24HH, and owners with questions can reach the company's customer service line.
