What is this? This notice is about some Volkswagen Tiguan cars. A small part in the brakes may not have been put together the right way.

What's happening? The bolts that hold the brake pipes might be loose. This could let brake fluid leak out. Then the brakes may not work well.

Does this affect me? If you own or drive a Tiguan made in the affected time, your car could be at risk.

What should I do? Take your car to a dealer or garage right away. Ask your mechanic to check the brake pipes and tighten the bolts.
