The Tiguan R-Line has been caught up in a new recall.
Volkswagen Australia has recalled 2627 examples of the Tiguan mid-size SUV over a manufacturing defect with their roof spoilers.
Affecting MY17-MY19 Tiguan R-Line variants sold from November 1, 2016, to December 31, 2019, the rear spoiler can partially or fully detach from the vehicle “due to deviations in the bonding process”.
If the rear spoiler were to detach while the vehicle is being driven, the risk of an accident and therefore injury to occupants and other road users would be increased.
