AIR BAGS:SENSOR:OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION:FRONT PASSENGER
A deactivated passenger air bag increases the risk of injury during a crash.
7 safety recall campaigns, 1 defect investigation, 272 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
A deactivated passenger air bag increases the risk of injury during a crash.
Unsecured bolts may cause the trailing arm to fracture, resulting in a sudden loss of vehicle control and increasing the risk of a crash.
A damaged engine can result in engine failure and a stall, increasing the risk of a crash. If the engine failure causes an oil leak, it can increase the risk of a fire.
Loose bolts may fall out, causing the remaining bolts to break, which could lead to separation of the trailer hitch and trailer, increasing the risk of a crash.
A rearview camera that does not display an image reduces the driver's rear view, increasing the risk of a crash.
Long fuel injectors with missing filters may leak fuel, increasing the risk of a fire.
Two 2022 VOLKSWAGEN ATLASs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
