Volkswagen recalls 143,000 Atlas SUVs over glitch related to air bag
Volkswagen of America announced Tuesday it is recalling more than 143,000 Atlas SUVs over a faulty front passenger seat detection system.
According to the manufacturer, the wiring in some of the vehicles’ front passenger detection systems may be faulty, resulting in a deactivated air bag that will not deploy in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury to the front seat passenger.
The recall affects select model year 2018-2021 Atlas and 2020 Atlas Cross Sport vehicles.
