What This Recall Means

Component

STEERING

What Happened
The steering knuckle is a crucial part that connects your steering system to the wheels. In some 2020-2021 Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport models, it might have been damaged during production, which could cause problems down the road.
Risk if Unfixed
If the steering knuckle fails while you're driving, you could lose control of your vehicle, increasing the risk of a serious crash.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Your Volkswagen dealer will inspect your steering knuckle and replace it if necessary – for free. You should schedule an appointment as soon as possible and not drive the vehicle until it's been inspected and repaired.
