Volkswagen bulletin 01-23-08 addresses specified fault codes on 2023 Taos vehicles with the DNKA 1.5T engine, within VIN range B2_PM000001 through B2_PM361324 and with listed ECM software. The codes are P2421, P2422, P2025, P24D6, P2B7B, P0456, P0169 and P30C0. The bulletin requires the applicable ECM update before diagnosing or replacing components for those codes. It does not establish that every difficult-refueling complaint is a software fault.

Common Symptoms

  • Check engine light / MIL on with one of the bulletin's listed EVAP fault codes stored

How to Fix

Have the dealer verify VIN, engine, stored codes and ECM software against bulletin 01-23-08 before applying its update-first procedure. Afterward, retest and diagnose any remaining symptoms using the appropriate repair information. Confirm warranty coverage separately: federal 8-year/80,000-mile coverage applies to specified major emissions components, not automatically to every EVAP valve or canister. Other manufacturer or state coverage may apply.
