## What is wrong

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. \(Volkswagen\) is recalling certain 2025\-2026 Taos vehicles. In the event of a rear\-end crash, the fuel pressure sensor may dislodge or separate from the fuel tank. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 301, "Fuel System Integrity."


## What can happen

A fuel tank with a dislodged or separated fuel pressure sensor can leak fuel after a rollover crash, increasing the risk of a fire.


## The remedy

Dealers will install a fuel pressure sensor wiring harness extension, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 4, 2026. Owners may contact Volkswagen customer service at 1\-800\-893\-5298. Volkswagen's number for this recall is 97TH.
