SEAT BELTS: REAR/OTHER:BUCKLE ASSEMBLY
What Happened
Your Volkswagen Atlas's owner's manual doesn't mention that the middle seat's seat belt buckle can get damaged if you use a child seat that's wider than 12.6 inches.
Risk if Unfixed
If the buckle gets damaged, it might release unexpectedly in a crash, which could lead to injury.
Free Fix
Volkswagen will inspect and replace the middle and left seat belt buckles if needed, and give you an updated owner's manual with child safety information, all for free.
