VW Atlas Lawsuit

Update: Volkswagen Atlas Recalled for Crash Risk

Volkswagen is recalling 2021 Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport vehicles which were manufactured with lug bolt holes on the wheels that may have been machined incorrectly, preventing the wheel bolt from sufficiently attaching to the wheel bearing hub. "An insufficiently attached wheel may separate from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash," NHTSA said. This recall began on March 4, 2021.

VW Atlas Airbag Recall

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc., is recalling Atlas vehicles from model year 2018 over potentially defective airbags which could fail during an accident, increasing the risk of severe injury, according to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

The recalled VW Atlas SUVs are equipped with an incorrectly manufactured airbag sensor, which can delay or disable air bag deployment when necessary, NHTSA said.

In the event of a crash, a delayed or disabled airbag deployment can increase the risk of severe personal injury or death.

Volkswagen is notifying owners and dealers will replace the airbag crash sensor, free of charge. This recall began on Feb. 21, 2020.

"Over cured tires can result in a sidewall break causing a sudden loss of air pressure or the tread separating from the tire," NHTSA said. "Both conditions increase the risk of a crash."

Volkswagen is notifying owners and dealers will inspect DOT date code and mold number on the vehicle's tires to see if they are affected, replacing them as necessary, free of charge.

This recall began on November 30, 2020.
