Transport Canada lists: A 4 2013–2016 · A 5 2013–2017 · A 6 2013–2015 · Q 5 2013–2017

What is wrong

On certain vehicles equipped with a 2.0L TFSI engine, the electric coolant pump could experience a short circuit and/or overheat. A short circuit or overheating of the pump could increase the risk of a fire causing injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Transport Canada lists: A 4 2013–2016 · A 5 2013–2016 · Q 5 2013–2016

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the contacts within the electrical connector of the auxiliary heater could corrode. This could cause the auxiliary heater to fail and/or cause the wires to overheat and melt. If the wires were to melt, it could lead to an open circuit and/or overheating, which could increase the risk of a fire causing injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will replace the auxiliary heater and update vehicle software as necessary.

Transport Canada lists: Q 5 2013–2017 · Q 7 2013–2015

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the fuel pump flange may develop fine cracks or fissures, which could result in a fuel leak. Leaking fuel, in the presence of an ignition source, could lead to a fire causing injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will apply a butyl protective film to the fuel pump flange. If cracks are present, the fuel pump flange will be replaced. Note: This is an expansion of recall 2016-443.

Airbag

Transport Canada recall 2017003 · manufacturer campaign 69P1

4 January 2017

Transport Canada lists: Q 5 2011–2017

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, if the water drainage system of the panoramic sunroof becomes damaged or impaired (such as during a repair), water could enter the side head curtain airbag canister. Due to a foam that is touching the airbag inflator, moisture could cause corrosion on the airbag inflator over time. If this happens, the airbag canister could be weakened. This could cause the airbag canister to fracture without airbag deployment and allow fragments to be propelled toward vehicle occupants, increasing the risk of injury.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will inspect the vehicle for evidence of water ingress, examine the drainage system, disassemble the headliner and trim, remove foam and inspect the side head curtain airbag canister for relevant corrosion. In cases where light surface corrosion is found, a wax will be applied to the inflator. In cases of more than light surface corrosion, the inflator will be replaced after a robustness check.

Transport Canada lists: A 4 2013–2016 · A 5 2013–2017 · A 6 2013–2015 · Q 5 2013–2017

What is wrong

On certain vehicles equipped with a 2.0L TFSI engine, the coolant pump could become blocked by debris from the cooling system. This could lead to the pump overheating and could increase the risk of a fire causing injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will update vehicle software which deactivates the power supply to the coolant pump if the pump becomes blocked with debris. The driver will be notified of the blocked coolant pump through the illumination of the Electronic Power Control (EPC) lamp.

Airbag

Transport Canada recall 2016041 · manufacturer campaign 69L9 / 69M1

27 January 2016

Transport Canada lists: Q 5 2015 · Tiguan 2015

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the driver and/or right front passenger seat-mounted airbag inflator could produce excessive internal pressure during airbag deployment. Increased pressure may cause the inflator to rupture, which could allow fragments to be propelled toward vehicle occupants, increasing the risk of injury. This could also damage the airbag module, which could prevent proper deployment. Failure of either of the seat-mounted airbags to fully deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of personal injury to the seat occupant.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will replace the affected driver and/or passenger seat side airbag modules with new production modules.
