On April 9 it was announced that VW will have a technical stoppage for a month on the Tiguan line due to an adjustment in production lines.

According to the Independent Union of VW Workers of Mexico, the stoppage will begin on April 15 and activities will resume on May 13, reducing 600 employees' salaries by 43%.

This technical stoppage was planned to begin on March 19, however, SITIAVW managed to delay it for a month by negotiating the mobilization of workers to the Jetta line, reducing the financial impact on employees.
