Recall Alert: 2025 Volkswagen Tiguan
Today's recall involves the 2025 Volkswagen Tiguan.
Volkswagen is recalling 3,138 model-year 2025 Tiguan vehicles due to a potential issue with the passenger occupant detection system. A wiring fault may cause the system to incorrectly detect an occupied front passenger seat, which can result in the front passenger air bag being deactivated when it should be active.
Volkswagen advises owners not to allow anyone to sit in the front passenger seat until the issue is repaired. Dealers will inspect and repair the affected wiring harness in the front passenger seat at no cost. Owner notification letters are scheduled to be mailed on February 6, 2026. VINs were made searchable on NHTSA’s website on December 12, 2025. Owners with questions can contact Volkswagen customer service at 1-800-893-5298, referencing recall number 74HE.

hahahaha, VW is the worst car company in the world just ask Jalop1776
A Volkswagen executive probably got tired of having grandma in the front seat, and thought of a way to temporarily get her in the back seat, despite the difficulty of the elderly getting in and out. Maybe that executive will do something about the back seat access, but I will not be holding my breath. The four door coupe concept sells a lot of crew cab pickups.
