Details

What's wrong: Volkswagen group of america, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain 2024-2025 Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport vehicles. The engine cover may have been improperly installed after vehicle service, allowing it to come loose and contact hot engine surfaces.

Why it matters: A loose engine cover that contacts hot surfaces in the engine compartment can melt, increasing the risk of a fire.

The fix: Dealers will remove the engine cover, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 7, 2025.
