“Vehicles recalled: 2019-2023 Volkswagen Atlas SUVs and 2020-2023 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport SUVs

The problem: Corrosion in the wiring harness that goes from the vehicle’s windshield pillar to its front door may cause a sporadic interruption of electrical connections within the vehicle. During certain side impacts, this may cause delayed deployment of the side airbags.

The fix: VW does not yet have a fix for this problem.

How to contact the manufacturer: VW will notify owners by mail twice: first, on May 10, 2022, to let them know if their vehicles are included in the recall, and again as soon as a fix is developed to let them know when they can take their SUVs in for a free repair. Owners may also contact VW directly at 800-893-5298.

NHTSA campaign number: 22V152. VW’s own number for this recall is 97GF.

Check to see whether your vehicle has an open recall: NHTSA’s website will tell you whether your vehicle has any recalls that need to be addressed.”
