It's possible that the bolts of the Curt # C38JR you installed on your 2022 Volkswagen Taos loosened up, so I recommend checking them with a torque wrench to be sure.
It's not common at all, so if they are still torqued correctly, send me a few pictures of the hitch installed (Showing mounting bolts, and receiver) so I can take a look to see if anything stands out. view full answer...
Good question and I can clarify for you. The answer is yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C38JR does fit your AWD model of 2023 Volkswagen Taos.

I reached out to my Curt contact and the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C38JR is confirmed to fit your 2023 Volkswagen Taos. The Curt trailer hitch has a bolt on installation and has a gloss black powder coat finish that offers superior rust resistance. I like this trailer hitch because it is manufactured in The USA.

No new information has come out regarding the Hollywood Racks Express Bike Rack and your 2022 Volkswagen Taos, however I do have another solution.
Instead, take a look at the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack # Y02634.
This bike rack is very similar to the Hollywood Racks Express 2 Bike Rack # HRE2 that you mention, boasting the same mounting style, as well as a similar carrying capacity of 35lbs per bike, for a maximum of 70lbs.
Additionally, you're going to need the Yakima Same Key System... view full answer...
I recommend the Upgraded Heavy Duty ModuLite Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness # C59496 for your 2023 Volkswagen Taos AWD.
The Mounting Bracket # C58001 is a great way to secure the 4-way to the end of the Receiver # C38JR. This will reduce the chance of the connector being drug on the ground accidently. view full answer...
The Rhino-Rack Ski and Snowboard Carrier # RR573 will fit crossbars up to 3-1/2 inches wide.
It will fit your 2022 Volkswagen Taos so long as you have a roof rack system with crossbars up to that width; if you just have the raised side rails and no roof rack with crossbars you will need to add a rack with the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA126B-2 and Rhino-Rack SX Series Legs # RRSX022. view full answer...

There is a trailer hitch that fits your 2022 Volkswagen Taos that does not require total removal of the bumper fascia, but not the Draw-Tite ; the way the Draw-Tite is configured, the edges are too wide. The hitch that you can use that does not require removing the entire bumper fascia is from Curt:

At the moment the only hitch receiver we have that is compatible with your 2022 Volkswagen Taos, is the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2", part # DT79GR. While Draw-Tite verified this hitch receiver to fit on your vehicle, we have yet to have one come to our facility and get installed. Until that happens we will not have any photos of this product installed online, unless we have a customer get one installed and send us a picture. view full answer...
Per Curt, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C38JR is a compatible fit for all models of the 2022 Volkswagen Taos. You shouldn't have to remove the rear fascia or drill into anything but you'll likely need to trim the underbody panel if it interferes with the hitch. In my experience it's best to not cut anything and test fit the hitch in place first to make sure you even need to cut and how much you'll really need to cut. A lot of manufacturer directions tend to have you cut more than you... view full answer...
I have a great 2-bike option for you. Unfortunately, I confirmed with Thule that the OutWay 2 # TH45JV does not fit your 2022 Volkswagen Taos. Our installation team here at etrailer has not had the opportunity to install the OutWay 2 on that new vehicle model.
However, with that being said, a great alternative route is the Yakima FullBack 2 # Y02634. Not only does the FullBack come with a slightly higher 35-pound per-bike weight capacity, it also comes loaded with theft-deterrence mechanisms... view full answer...

Definitely! We have a great hitch that fits a non-AWD 2022 Volkswagen Taos. For that recommendation, I suggest the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C38JR. This hitch has a ton of advantages over the competitor Draw-Tite # DT79GR. First off, the Curt Hitch does not require and drilling to enlarge the bolt holes. Lastly, since the gloss overcoat over the base powder coat offers more protection than the Draw-Tite, you get more overall protection against rust and... view full answer...

Thank you for your purchase of the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C38JR for your 2022 Volkswagen Taos!
From what I'm seeing in the photo you sent in it looks like the bracket(s) on your hitch got bent a little during shipping. This isn't super uncommon and as long as you aren't seeing any cracks in the metal or flaking of the powder coat you can safely, but slowly, bend the hitch back into place - it looks like you need it maybe 1/4" to 1/2" wider.
