Safety Comes First
NHTSA identifies six recall components for the 2019 Volkswagen Atlas. Over-cured tires may lose air or separate, a fuel tank defect may cause a leak or stall, and incorrect headlight aim may reduce visibility. An incorrect side-impact air bag may not deploy as intended, while a fractured rear coil spring could damage a tire and affect control. An instrument panel issue may omit a warning when the key remains in the ignition.
