No, installing a trailer hitch like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C38JR you were looking at will not void the warranty you have on your 2022 Volkswagen Taos.

The only way that this part or any aftermarket part may void your warranty is if a problem comes up and it is determined that the part added was the reason for the problem.
