| Description of the problem | Volkswagen has a recall for many of their vehicles including the 2011- 2014 tiguan due to faulty clock springs. The vehicle we have is a 2015 tiguan which has also suffered a clock spring failure. The earlier recall hasn't completely fixed the issue and should be probably be extended to additional vehicles including the 2015 tiguan. It's a costly repair and one that should not be occurring. The vehicle was fine one moment and the problem was first discovered while driving slowly and making turns in a parking lot on 8/5/2018 "nhtsa has received 90 complaints of clockspring failure since the 2015 recall, including several that were made after the remedy of the 2015 recall, indicating the earlier recall hadn't solved the issue for all vehicles. The 2015 recall involved 2011-14 model year golf, gti, jetta and tiguan, 2010-14 model year passat and cc, 2012-14 model year jetta sportwagen and 2010-13 model year eos cars. The fact that an investigation has been ordered does not mean that another recall will follow; an investigation is typically followed by an engineering analysis and then a recall if the issue warrants it. If you suspect that your vehicle may have this issue, you can contact nhtsa at safercar. Gov to file a complaint." source: jay ramey, associate editor with autoweek read more: https://autoweek.
