Volkswagen is recalling 49,958 Tiguans from the 2025 model year over a software fault that can reset the body control module (BCM) and, in the worst case, shut off the engine while driving. The automaker reported the campaign to safety regulators on September 10, 2026.
The fix is a free dealer software update, and owners do not need to wait for a letter to find out if their SUV is included. Checking the vehicle's 17-character VIN through the federal recall lookup tool confirms coverage right now.
