Volkswagen is recalling 33 of its 2022 Atlas FL and 2022-2023 Atlas Cross Sport vehicles because the driver-side rear trailing arm bolts may not have been tightened properly during assembly. These bolts can loosen and fall out while the vehicle is in motion, which could cause the trailing arm to break. Owners should take their vehicle to a Volkswagen dealer for a free bolt replacement to ensure the rear suspension remains secure.
If the trailing arm bolts fall out, the trailing arm can fracture, causing a sudden loss of vehicle control. This significantly increases the risk of a crash for the driver and others on the road.
Free replacement of driver-side rear trailing arm bolts.
