Recalls

Good news: Recall repairs are almost always free. Book with any manufacturer dealer and quote the recall number. Transport Canada’s own wording is that a manufacturer “will almost always make these repairs free of charge”, so being asked to pay for recall work is unusual and worth questioning. Since 2018 the Minister of Transport can order a company to pay for repairs so owners do not bear the cost.

Transport Canada recall 2026242 · manufacturer campaign 91NF

20 May 2026

Transport Canada lists: Tiguan 2023–2024

What is wrong

On a small number of vehicles, a problem with the camera control unit could cause the rearview camera image not to display after shifting into reverse or after activating the parking assistance function. Canadian regulations require the rearview image to display when the transmission is shifted into reverse.

Why it matters

A rearview camera image that doesn't display could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Volkswagen will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the camera control unit software.

Transport Canada lists: Jetta 2024 · Taos 2024 · Tiguan 2024

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the year of manufacture listed on the compliance label is incorrect. Canadian regulations require the month and year of the vehicle's date of manufacture to be listed on the compliance label.

Why it matters

This error could cause confusion when trying to identify the model year of the vehicle using the compliance label.

What the dealer will do

Volkswagen will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to install an overlay (label) on the compliance label.

Source: Transport Canada — Vehicle Recalls Database; NRCan — Fuel consumption ratings. Data current as of 6 August 2026. Running cost uses Ontario average prices (155 ¢/L, 14.5 ¢/kWh), which are hand-maintained estimates. These are average residential rates. A car’s charging is added on top of what your home already uses, so on a tiered, time-of-use or subsidised tariff it is billed at your top rate rather than this average — which makes the real cost higher, especially in the territories.
