Known issues on the 2013 Touareg. Steering leads the 30 owner complaints for the 2013 Touareg with 8, ahead of Fuel/Propulsion System at 6 and Engine at 4, and 1 complaint reported a crash. The federal record also holds 3 recalls. Certain vehicles could have a brake pedal pivot pin without its securing clip, so the pedal might dislodge. Certain Hybrid vehicles built in a set window had a battery tray that could hold water and short the high voltage battery, remedied with a drain valve. Certain vehicles altered during internal evaluation may fall short of regulatory requirements. Steering, brake and electrical procedures, specifications and wiring diagrams are provided.
