Known issues on the 2022 Tiguan. Owners filed 266 complaints about the 2022 Tiguan, most of them for the engine (111), electrical system (62), lane departure (43), power train (42) and forward collision avoidance (32); 3 reported a crash, 1 a fire and 5 an injury. The federal record holds 5 recalls. On certain vehicles, 1,285 of them, the nut on the brake line near the right-front wheel well could be loose and let fluid escape, lengthening stopping distances; dealers inspected it and, where needed, tightened it. Certain vehicles had rear suspension knuckles that could corrode and break. On certain others, a camera control unit error at startup could leave the rearview image blank; the planned fix is a dealer software update. Brake and suspension procedures, torque values and electrical diagnostics apply.
