Volkswagen Group of America, Inc: Brake Master Cylinder Contains Incorrect Part

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Volkswagen Group of America is recalling approximately 1,591 of its 2024 Atlas and 2024 Atlas Cross Sport vehicles. The brake master cylinder in these SUVs may have been built with an incorrect internal spring part that can block the flow of brake fluid. If the brake fluid port is obstructed, it can cause the brakes to fail, and dealers will replace the entire brake master cylinder for free.

Risk

A blocked brake fluid port can result in a sudden loss of braking power. This failure to stop or slow down the vehicle as expected significantly increases the risk of a crash.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if you own a 2024 Volkswagen Atlas or a 2024 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport vehicle.
  2. Contact any authorized Volkswagen dealer to schedule a free replacement of the brake master cylinder.
  3. If you have questions or need to confirm your vehicle's status, contact Volkswagen Customer Relations at 1-800-893-5298 and mention recall number 471F.
  4. Call the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov for additional information.
