Volkswagen bulletin V9626022082488_2

What it saysDisconnect the control console for 10 seconds to reset. NHTSA’s full summary ↓

Volkswagen filed this with NHTSA as a service bulletin dated Jul 6, 2026, received Aug 5, 2026, about the electrical system. It names 2 model years (2026). A service bulletin is not a safety recall: it is the manufacturer telling its dealers how to diagnose or repair a condition, and whether the work is paid for depends on the warranty in force. 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.

What owners reported

Source: NHTSA complaint database

Owners of the 2 model years this bulletin names have filed 48 complaints with NHTSA since 2015. 13 of them name Electrical System — the same broad component group this bulletin is filed under. NHTSA groups complaints coarsely, so that means the same area of the vehicle, not necessarily the same fault.

I am filing a safety complaint regarding my 2026 Volkswagen Atlas SE with Technology, 2.0T engine, with approximately 5,700 miles. While driving, the vehicle suddenly began shuddering violently, lost significant engine power, displayed a flashing check-engine light and a Start/Stop system fault, and later would not restart normally.

2026 Volkswagen Atlas · Electrical System · filed with NHTSA Sep 12, 2026 · ODI 11763796

Last night I was easing into braking to switch lanes when the car braked on its own. (Completely stopping) There was nobody in front of me, and the car isn’t dirty, so the sensors weren't blocked. We were almost rear ended as a result. All the dash lights randomly turn on.

A complaint is one owner’s account, not a defect finding, and a bulletin is not a recall. Nothing here says this bulletin was issued because of these complaints, or that the repair it describes fixed them. Complaint files on this site begin in 2015.

Common questions

Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5

Is Volkswagen V9626022082488_2 a recall?

No. A service bulletin 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 V9626022082488_2 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 V9626022082488_2 cover?

The manufacturer filed it against 2 model years: 2026 Volkswagen Atlas, 2026 Volkswagen Tiguan. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
