Details

What's wrong: Volkswagen group of america, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain 2022 Tiguan vehicles. The nut that secures the brake pipe near the right-front wheel well may be loose.

Why it matters: A loose brake pipe nut may allow brake fluid to leak, extending the distance required to stop and increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will inspect and tighten the brake pipe nut, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 23, 2021.
