Looks like there is a new ECU software update (recall) on the way for some of the AWD cars.

New ECU software update

There was also a software update for the FWD version- my car was just at the dealer getting the charcoal canister replaced and oil changed and they also did an ECM update and also replaced a power relay for the ECM under a VW bulletin at the same time.
Haha, thanks for posting that. 11 vehicles, lol.
I did the update to my Taos today during the 10k service. Software update 24IR , and the engine/trans software update as well. The Taos drives immensely better. Like it should have from the beginning. Almost like waking up from a bad dream to realize how good it really is.
I just checked and have no updates available ? Ive learned to drive around the jerky starts pretty much but once in awhile i apply the pedal normal and it gets Jerky and pisses me off. Other than that I truly have no complaints, the cars been great to me
Not sure if it's a dealer only update. But the Taos drives like a dream now. It feels like it coasts better, shifts smoother, less natural engine braking. Smooth on the power, and when it shifts thru the lower gears it doesn't "fall off" and make you mash the pedal down. Downshifts are smoother, and the clutch (DSG) engages sooner. But I do have the throttle updated to Direct (Carista). And I'm driving in 'D' now, I don't need to drive in 'S'. My gut tells me I'll be getting better fuel economy.
If I remember correctly, OTA updates are only available for the infotainment system.
ECM updates will likely require a dealer visit.
Just emailed my dealer and indeed, ECU updates. Came out Nov 10th. Surprised no one notified me. Not VW, not the dealer. Glad to learn of it here.
Will let you know how it goes. Would be nice if it was on a thumb drive and I could do it, but its ok. Anyone know how long it actually takes?

Does it show up on the recalls/service campaign site for your VIN?
Recall / Service Campaign Lookup (vw.com)
It doesn't show up for me, and when I called the dealer yesterday, they just said no open recalls or service campaigns.
I would expect it to show up as a service campaign, but as the dealer said, they may only actually push it to VINs in stages to avoid a rush.
From what I've seen online it is all 2022 1.5l. I have an SE 4Motion so I would assume the same update would apply to me.

I stopped at the dealer today to ask about it and they read off the whole recall and scheduled me for 12/16 to update. Supposedly fixes too frequent and false check engine lights, fueling issue, torque issue between 1200-2000RPM and throttle delay from takeoff. I'm actually excited to start driving this piece of crap again!
Of course, my Carista arrived today and now there is a fix from the dealer. It has only been 1.5 years since they released the Taos and has been a complaint from the very beginning.
