German automotive giant Volkswagen achieves success in many countries with the vehicles it launches. The company, which has products for almost every segment, proves its success with the sales figures of some of its vehicles. One of those vehicles, the Tiguan, which has been produced since 2007, is being recalled by the manufacturer, although it is a very successful model in the SUV class. Okay but why?
Tiguan, the best-selling Volkswagen vehicle of the period with sales exceeding 778 thousand in 2019, will be collected back due to a problem that has arisen. Volkswagen, which recalled some of the vehicles that left the factory between 2018-2021, says that the wrong method applied when replacing the spoiler causes problems for the drivers.

As a result of ever-increasing complaints, Volkswagen started to investigate the problem with the spoiler of the vehicle in November 2021, 2022 As of March, it has identified the source of the problem. Accordingly, the wrong method applied when installing the spoiler causes the spoiler to come off while the vehicle is on the road. This poses a safety risk to other drivers on the road.
Volkswagen Tiguan, which does not have spoilers in the standard option, has this part only in the full packages. In order to eliminate this problem, the company, which wants to repair the vehicles free of charge, called 6,553 Tiguan vehicles in the USA to the factories.
