Volkswagen is recalling 2 affected 2019 Atlas vehicles because the driver's side impact air bag housing may be missing a critical weld. This manufacturing defect can cause the air bag to deploy incorrectly or completely detach from its housing during a collision. To resolve this safety issue, authorized Volkswagen dealers will replace the driver's side impact air bag assembly at no cost to the owner.
If the air bag is missing a weld, it may not stay in the correct position or function as intended during a crash, which significantly increases the risk of occupant injury because it will not provide the expected protection.
Free replacement of the driver's side impact air bag assembly.
