Volkswagen recalls nearly 50,000 Tiguans over body control software glitch

Volkswagen is recalling about 50,000 2025 Tiguan SUVs because of a software fault in the Body Control Module. A BCM reset can cut motive power, exterior lights and the rearview camera, and there is no specific diagnostic trouble code for the fault, so dealers must update the software in person.

• Recall covers nearly 50,000 Tiguans built between March and August 2025
• A BCM reset can cause loss of motive power, exterior lights and rearview camera
• No specific diagnostic trouble code exists for the fault
• The fix requires a dealer software update, not an over-the-air patch
