Volkswagen is recalling approximately 2,018 of its 2024 Atlas PA2 and Atlas Cross Sport PA vehicles due to a manufacturing defect in the engine connecting rod bearings. These bearings can become damaged, leading to complete engine failure and sudden stalling while driving. Volkswagen dealers will inspect the vehicles and replace the engine entirely if necessary at no cost to owners.
A damaged engine can fail and stall without warning, which significantly increases the risk of a crash. Furthermore, engine failure can result in an oil leak, creating a serious fire hazard if the oil contacts hot engine components.
