Volkswagen has issued a recall for certain 2021-2022 Tiguan and 2022 Taos vehicles. The recall, identified as NHTSA 22V176000 (Volkswagen 42L8), addresses a critical safety concern where the left or right rear suspension knuckles may corrode, crack, and break, leading to a loss of vehicle stability.
Volkswagen has issued a recall for certain 2022 Tiguan vehicles because a brake pipe nut near the right-front wheel well may be loose. This defect can cause brake fluid to leak, potentially increasing stopping distances and raising the risk of a crash.
The contact owns a 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan. The contact stated that while attempting to reverse, the rearview camera became inoperable, and the camera image appeared blank. The contact also stated that the vehicle experienced excessive oil consumption, requiring the oil to be changed every 2,000 miles. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where an oil consumption test was performed. The dealer informed the contact that no issues were found within the parameters of the test. The vehicle was not diagnosed for the rearview camera failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure via telephone, and a case was opened. The failure mileage was 55,000.

I am reporting a serious engine defect on my 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan at approximately 39,500 miles. The vehicle has excessive oil consumption and an oil leak. The authorized dealer diagnosed the problem as requiring full cylinder head replacement. This is a major engine repair at low mileage. I previously told the dealer the vehicle needed oil added between changes. The issue has worsened and now requires a cylinder head. I escalated with dealership management and Volkswagen Customer Care. Volkswagen refuses full coverage and offers only partial goodwill, leaving me to pay a large portion out of pocket despite the low mileage. This issue is widespread on 2022–2023 Tiguan models with the 2.0 TSI EA888 engine. Multiple owners report the same oil consumption and cylinder head replacement. Consumer Reports has documented cylinder head and oil consumption complaints on the 2022 Tiguan. Class action lawsuits allege a defect causing excessive oil consumption. The Canadian Automobile Protection Association has also reported premature valve guide wear leading to cylinder head replacement on 2018–2024 Tiguans. Excessive oil consumption creates a safety risk. Low oil can cause engine damage, stalling, or complete engine failure while driving. A vehicle needing frequent oil top-offs and a major internal repair under 40,000 miles indicates a possible manufacturing defect that Volkswagen has not addressed with a recall. I have also experienced issues with the forward collision warning system, the PCV valve, the infotainment system, and brake vibration when braking. These secondary problems further show reliability concerns, but the cylinder head failure is the most serious and safety-related issue. I request that NHTSA review this complaint with other similar reports and investigate whether a safety-related defect exists in the 2022–2023 Volkswagen Tiguan that requires further action or a recall.

My 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan repeatedly displays the warning: “Travel Assist Currently Not Available.” When this occurs, the vehicle beeps every few seconds, which is extremely distracting while driving. I have also noticed that when the Travel Assist failure occurs, there is a pulsating feedback/vibration when braking. This condition continues until the “Travel Assist Currently Not Available” warning is resolved. Since I purchased the vehicle (purchased brand new in 2022), this issue has occurred every year. Volkswagen has previously had to replace the steering wheel each time the issue occurred (2 swaps performed in the last two years). The issue is now occurring again for the a third consecutive year, indicating that the underlying problem has not been permanently resolved. I am concerned that this is a recurring safety-related defect that Volkswagen has not adequately addressed. The repeated warning, constant beeping, and unusual braking feedback are distracting and unsafe while operating the vehicle. Volkswagen should identify and permanently correct the underlying cause rather than continuing to replace the steering wheel as a temporary solution. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this recurring issue and determine whether a broader safety defect exists with the Travel Assist system in Volkswagen vehicles.
