flag 271,000 US SUVs recalled by Volkswagen due to faulty front passenger airbag system wiring.

flag Volkswagen has announced a recall of over 271,000 SUVs in the US due to a potential fault in the front passenger airbag system. flag Affected models include certain Atlas SUVs from the 2021 through 2024 model years and some 2020 through 2024 Atlas Cross Sport SUVs. flag The issue arises from potential faults in the wiring under the front passenger seat, which could deactivate the sensor determining if a passenger is on board, disabling the airbag and increasing the risk of injury in a crash. flag Drivers experiencing a fault would be notified with a warning sound and an error message on the instrument panel. flag Until the recall repairs are made, Volkswagen advises owners to avoid using the front passenger seat. flag Dealers will replace the sensor mat and wiring harness at no cost to the owners, with letters about the recall expected to be sent out starting August 16th. flag Volkswagen has reported 1,730 warranty claims related to the issue.
