Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. is recalling 49,958 model year 2025 Tiguan vehicles. A software error may cause the body control module (BCM) to reset, switching off the ignition and stalling the engine. A reset can also cause a loss of certain controls, warning lights or exterior lighting, or failure of the rearview camera system, a noncompliance with FMVSS No. 101, “Controls and Displays,” and No. 102, “Transmission Shift Lever Sequence, Starter Interlock, and Transmission Braking Effect,” as well as FMVSS Nos. 108 and 111.
An unexpected engine stall, loss of exterior lighting or warning lights, or failure of the rearview camera system can increase the risk of a crash.
Dealers will update the BCM software, free of charge.
Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed November 6, 2026. Owners may contact Volkswagen customer service at 1-800-893-5298 and reference recall 57KL.
