Known issues on the 2014 Tiguan. Owners of the 2014 Tiguan filed 84 complaints, 46 of them on the air bags, ahead of the electrical system (22) and steering (20); 2 complaints reported a crash. There are 3 recalls on the federal record. On certain vehicles, debris could get into the steering wheel clock spring and tear its flat cable, leaving the driver's air bag without power so it would not deploy; dealers fitted a protective cover or, where needed, a new clock spring. Certain units altered during internal evaluation may miss regulatory requirements and were to be repaired or, where needed, repurchased. Certain vehicles built from July 2007 to June 2014 could stall when winter-blend fuel formed bubbles. Wiring diagrams, steering procedures and fuel system diagnostics apply here.
