Volkswagen Recalls 49,958 2025 Tiguan SUVs: Body Control Module Glitch Can Stall the Engine and Kill Lights and Rearview Camera
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced that Volkswagen Group of America is recalling 49,958 model-year 2025 Tiguan SUVs because a software error may cause the body control module (BCM) to reset unexpectedly while driving. The campaign is NHTSA recall 26V587, Volkswagen recall 57KL, covering vehicles built from March 24 to August 30, 2025.
According to Volkswagen's defect report to NHTSA, if the BCM resets, the ignition may switch off and the engine may stall, and certain controls, warning telltales, exterior lighting and the rearview camera system may be lost, increasing the risk of a crash. Affected vehicles run BCM software versions 0325 or 0324; version 0326 or newer resolves the issue. Volkswagen says it is not aware of any crashes, fires, injuries or deaths associated with the defect.
Dealers will update the body control module software free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on November 6, 2026, and the affected VINs have been searchable on NHTSA.gov since September 17, 2026. Owners may contact Volkswagen customer service at 1-800-893-5298 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
