CanadaThe affected vehicles are 2025 Volkswagen Taos and 2025 Volkswagen Jetta in Canada, identified by model and year. They were recalled because a software problem can cause the instrument cluster not to display when the vehicle is started, preventing the speedometer, gear selection indicators, warning lights and malfunction tell‑tales from being seen and increasing crash risk. Volkswagen will notify owners by mail and advise taking the vehicle to a dealership to update the software; the dealer will replace the instrument cluster if necessary.
