Your 2024 Volkswagen Tiguan's right headlight assembly was damaged in a deer collision and needs replacement. The dealership ordered the OEM headlight in June 2025, but it remains on national backorder with no estimated delivery date. Your vehicle has been sitting at the collision shop for over 6 months unable to be released because operating with only one working headlight and a non-functional turn signal violates federal safety standards. Getting the correct OEM headlight assembly installed is the only fix, but the part availability issue is preventing that repair from happening.
