NHTSA recall 20V702000
Tires · Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Volkswagen group of america, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Atlas Cross Sport and 2021 Atlas vehicles equipped with Continental cross contact lx sport tires, size 255/50 r 20 105 t. The tires may have been over cured.
Why it matters: Over cured tires can result in a sidewall break causing a sudden loss of air pressure or the tread separating from the tire. Both conditions increase the risk of a crash.
The fix: Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will inspect dot date code and mold number on the vehicle's tires to see if they are affected, replacing them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began November 30, 2020.
