Volkswagen is recalling approximately 555 model year 2023 Atlas FL and Atlas Cross Sport vehicles because certain brake lines may leak at their threaded connections. A leak in the brake system can lead to a loss of brake fluid, which may significantly increase the distance required to bring the vehicle to a stop. Volkswagen dealers will replace the affected brake lines free of charge, with owner notification letters scheduled to be mailed by November 23, 2022.
Leaking brake fluid reduces the hydraulic pressure within the braking system. This loss of pressure can cause the brakes to become less responsive and increase the stopping distance, which raises the risk of a crash.
Dealers will replace the affected brake lines at no cost to the owner.
