Volkswagen is recalling 1,637 vehicles of the new Taycon model series manufactured in 2025. The reason for the recall is a faulty control panel that can impair the protective effect of the front passenger airbag in the event of an accident with airbag deployment.

At an authorised workshop, the control panel is checked for the presence of the fault and repaired if necessary.

The Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (KBA) monitors the recall under the reference number “14849R“. The internal manufacturer code is “69TE“.
