From South Africa, my 2018 Tiguan 2.0 Highline TSI gave exactly the same error last weekend. When in emergecy mode, gears 1,3, 5 and 7 would not engage. Has about 79 000km (49 000 miles) on it. Message disappears after switching engine off. Was informed by the dealership it is the Mechatronics unit and has to come from Germany. Will take 21 days to arrive in Cape Town. Definitely appears to be an error with the Tiguan's mechatronics unit, that Volkswagen needs to sort out.
