Volkswagen filed this with NHTSA as a manufacturer communication dated Sep 10, 2026, received Mar 6, 2023, about the electrical system — 3 documents under this number. It names 16 model years (2022–2026).

Quoting the number at a service desk can save a diagnosis.

The summary is NHTSA’s abstract of the document, as filed under 49 CFR 579.5. One communication is usually filed as several documents — the bulletin, a dealer notice, an owner letter — and the number on any of them finds this page. A PDF link is shown only once NHTSA’s own server has been seen to serve that document; the rest are checked over the following nights. Quote the number at a service desk; it is what the dealer’s system is keyed on.

2022 Volkswagen Tiguan · Electrical System · filed with NHTSA Sep 16, 2022 · ODI 11484817
The vehicle simply shuts off with no warning or reason. I should NOT have to explain to anybody how this is a safety hazard to the driver and others around the vehicle. It shuts down while in a car wash and the vehicle is in Neutral. Thus, I have to brake, place the trans in Park then manually restart. The same happens at Stop Lights.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Volkswagen TT 57 23 01 a recall?
No. A manufacturer communication is a manufacturer communication filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR 579.5; a safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number (two digits, a letter, six digits) and a federal duty to repair for free. Check the vehicle’s recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or on its page here.
Is the TT 57 23 01 repair free?
Not automatically. A service bulletin describes how to diagnose or repair a condition; who pays depends on the warranty in force, any extension, and the dealer. Quoting the number can save a diagnosis either way. Every Volkswagen warranty extension on file lists the ones Volkswagen has filed.
Which vehicles does TT 57 23 01 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 16 model years: 2024 Volkswagen Atlas, 2023 Volkswagen Atlas, 2022 Volkswagen Atlas, 2026 Volkswagen Jetta, 2025 Volkswagen Jetta, 2024 Volkswagen Jetta and more. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
