What's wrong: Volkswagen group of america, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain 2022 Tiguan and 2018-2021 Tiguan long wheel base (lwb) vehicles. Due to incorrect installation instructions, the accessory rear hatch spoiler may be insufficiently attached to the vehicle.

Why it matters: An insufficiently attached spoiler may separate from the vehicle, becoming a road hazard and increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will replace the spoiler, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 3, 2022.
