Concern

Sporadic malfunctions in a pressure casting system caused individual rear wheel bearing housings to be fitted with oxide inclusions

Defect, as DVSA words it

On Tiguan LWB vehicles of a limited production period sporadic malfunctions in a pressure casting system caused individual rear wheel bearing housings to be fitted with oxide inclusions.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

On the affected vehicles the production date of the two rear wheel bearing housings is checked and if necessary replaced.

What changed since we first read it

Nothing yet. The wording has been the same on every read since 4 September 2026. The file is read again every day; if DVSA rewrites the defect, remedy or concern, the old and new text will appear here with both dates.

The same recall in other registers

No match found in the American, Canadian or European registers by manufacturer reference, because the reference DVSA lists is too short to match safely. A recall can exist abroad under a different reference; this site only claims a match when the reference agrees.
