Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. is recalling approximately 38,710 of its 2025-2026 Taos vehicles because the fuel tank may leak following a crash. In the event of a rear-end collision, a fuel pressure sensor can become dislodged or completely separate from the fuel tank, which fails to meet federal safety standards for fuel system integrity. Dealers will install a wiring harness extension for the fuel pressure sensor at no cost to owners to prevent this separation.
If the fuel pressure sensor dislodges during a crash, fuel can leak out of the tank, especially in the event of a rollover, which significantly increases the risk of a fire.
Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) will be searchable starting April 29, 2026.
