In February, the auto safety agency requested a meeting to discuss the field performance of the Atlas Passenger Occupant Protection System, VW said. In a 2021 meeting, VW said "field data analysis indicates that the failure is highly sporadic and the warning light is illuminating immediately upon failure," according to a summary filed with NHTSA. The 2018 Atlas has been recalled because a twisted A/C evaporator tube can drain water onto the floor of the SUVs cabin. The German automaker began investigating the issue in August 2019. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain 2018-2021 Atlas and 2020-2021 Atlas Cross Sport vehicles equipped with accessory side. VW said it was not aware of any crashes or injuries related to the recall.Īutomakers are required to have sensors that deactivate front passenger air bags if they sense the presence of children or small-statured adults, to prevent them from being seriously injured or killed when an air bag is deployed, an event that involves some force. VW in late 2020 introduced a new cable to address potential issues with the system. Volkswagen said it is currently developing a remedy, which it expects to be ready likely in late 2023. A deactivated air bag will not deploy in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury to the front seat passenger, NHTSA said. The fuel tank may have been manufactured with insufficient wall. The passenger occupant-detection system may experience a fault in the wiring, which could deactivate the front passenger air bag even when the seat is occupied. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain 2018 Atlas vehicles. There were also two recalls regarding braking issues, one for possibly loose bracket. The recall covers 2018-2021 model year Atlas and 2020 model year Atlas Cross Sport vehicles, and relates to potential faulty occupant-detection systems in front passenger seats. The 2018 VW Atlas has had two recalls regarding fuel tanks and fuel leaks.
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said on Tuesday. WASHINGTON, April 4 (Reuters) - Owners of 143,000 recalled Volkswagen Atlas vehicles should not let people sit in front passenger seats until the occupant-detection systems in these vehicles have been fixed, the U.S.
