The service campaign is related to a fire risk. The industry publication Kfz-Betrieb reports this, citing its own source.
The vehicles will be sent for repair because water can get into the LED unit of the panoramic roof, which sometimes causes a short circuit. As a result, the ceiling lighting may not turn on, a burning smell may appear in the cabin, and in some cases, a fire may occur.
It is currently known that the recall campaign will affect approximately 22,500 Touran compact vans and 30,000 Tiguan crossovers sold on the German market. Volkswagen specialists are currently developing a series of technical measures to eliminate the problem.
