Volkswagen is having to recall the just-launched 2024 Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport SUVs to address a fire risk. Auto123 has the details.
This past June we test drove the brand-new revised 2024 Volkswagen Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport SUVs in New York state. Just two months later, just as the first of them enter the market, the two models are being recalled by VW to address a problem that could pose a potential fire risk.
Volkswagen’s report to the NHTSA states that “Contamination during the bearing production process may have caused an increased particle occurrence in the engine oil circuit, which may lead to extensive wear and play and result in damage to the connecting rod bearings. A connecting rod bearing with continuously rising bearing play leads to excessive engine noise.
Only 74 vehicles in Canada are impacted by the recall, which is very small, but since the risk is of a vehicle fire, it is worth reporting on. Volkswagen’s proactive stance here is to be saluted.
