Atlas,Issue,Recall

The recall covers 271,000 2021-2024 model year Atlas and 2020-2024 Atlas Cross Sport SUVs in the United States and about 36,000 in Canada

Volkswagen said on Wednesday it was recalling over 307,000 vehicles in North America due to a potential wiring fault that may deactivate front passenger air bags when the seat is occupied.

The Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport are among the automaker’s best-selling vehicles in the United States. VW said “out of abundance of caution, the committee decided to recall the Atlas vehicles with a specific technology installed” and said it was based on 1,730 warranty claims for replaced PODS parts.
