What Happened
The air conditioning system in your Atlas has a tube that helps drain water away from the air bag control module. In some 2021 Atlas and 2020-2021 Atlas Cross Sport vehicles, this tube might get blocked.
Risk if Unfixed
If water leaks into the air bag control module, it could cause the air bag to deploy incorrectly, which could lead to a serious injury or a crash.
Free Fix
Your Volkswagen dealer will fix the drainage issue and replace the air bag control module if necessary — all for free. Just schedule the repair when you receive the recall notice.
