Update: Volkswagen Atlas Recalled for Crash Risk
Volkswagen is recalling the following vehicles which were sold with over cured Continental Cross Contact LX Sport tires, size 255/50 R 20 105 T:
- 2020-2021 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport
- 2021 Volkswagen Atlas
“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.
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.
