STEERING
What Happened
The front steering knuckle is a critical part that connects your steering system to your wheels. In some 2021 Atlas and 2020-2021 Atlas Cross Sport models, this knuckle can break in a weak spot.
Risk if Unfixed
If the steering knuckle fails, you could lose control of your vehicle on the road, which increases the risk of a serious crash.
Free Fix
Your Volkswagen dealer will inspect the steering knuckle and replace it if necessary, at no cost to you. This free repair is part of the recall, and you should schedule it when you receive the notification.
