TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS

Manufacturer
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
What Happened
The tire pressure monitoring system on your vehicle is what alerts you when your tires are low on air. But in some 2019-2021 models, this system may not detect a sudden drop in pressure across all four tires, which could be a problem.
Risk if Unfixed
If all four tires lose air at the same time, you might not get a warning, and your vehicle could be more difficult to steer or brake. This increases the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your Volkswagen or Audi dealer will update the software for your TPMS system, which is free of charge. You should schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice in the mail.

Original — What Happened
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan LWB, Golf Sportswagen A7, Golf Alltrack, Golf R GP, Audi Q3, Audi A3 Cabriolet, 2019-2020 Jetta NF, Jetta GLI, Golf GTI, Atlas, Golf A7, Audi A3, 2020-2021 Atlas Cross Sport, and 2021 Atlas FL vehicles. The tire pressure monitoring system may not detect an air pressure loss in adequate time when deflating occurs among all four tires simultaneously. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 138, "Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems."
Original — Risk if Unfixed
An undetected sudden loss of pressure in all four tires increases the risk of a crash.
Original — Remedy
Dealers will update the TPMS software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 18, 2022. Owners may contact Volkswagen's customer service at 1-800-893-5298 or Audi’s customer service at 1-800-253-2834. Volkswagen's numbers for this recall are (Audi) 45J7, and (VW) 45J6 and 45J8.

TIRES:SIDEWALL

Manufacturer
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
What Happened
The sidewalls of the tires on your Atlas are the part that keep the air in and the road out. In some 2018-2019 models, the sidewalls may have been over-cured during production.
Risk if Unfixed
If the sidewall breaks, your tire could suddenly lose air or the belt could separate, causing your vehicle to lose control. This could make it harder to steer and increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your Volkswagen dealer will inspect the tires and replace them if needed – for free. You should schedule the inspection as soon as you get the recall notice.

Original — What Happened
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Atlas vehicles equipped with Continental tires. On the affected vehicles, it is possible that one or more tires were cured for too long during tire production.
Original — Risk if Unfixed
Over cured tires may develop a break in the sidewall, resulting in sudden air loss or belt edge separation which could lead to tread/belt loss. Either condition can cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Original — Remedy
Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the tires, and replace them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on March 24, 2021. Owners may contact Volkswagen customer service at 1-800-893-5298. Volkswagen's number for this recall is 44R1.
