Recalls
Safety issues the manufacturer must repair for free. A recall means confirm the fix was done, not walk away.
No recalls on record for this model
No safety recalls were found in this dataset. It is still worth entering the exact VIN on NHTSA before purchase, since recalls can be added at any time.
Is 175 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2011 and 2025, roughly 13 a year, which is more than the typical model in this dataset. We do not have sales figures for this model, so treat this as a rough volume, not a rate per car on the road. Popular, high-volume models naturally collect more complaints over time.
How does it compare with other years? The 2011 has 175 complaints on file, fewer than the 2010 (240) and more than the 2012 (63). Of the 3 model years of the Volkswagen Routan we cover, the 2010 has the most (240). Older model years have had longer to collect complaints.
