Official summary
The suspension characteristics of the Touareg make it more susceptible to variations in the rim and/or tire. For this reason a diagnostic balancer is necessary to balance, force match and/or select tire placement so that the vibration may be improved.
What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
