2018 Vw Atlas Recall
Review: 'Very Satisfied' Atlas Pinnacle shingle is a quality shingle. Love the scotch guard stain protection and looks great on my house. Of the many brands of shingles out there the Atlas Pinnacle has a great warranty and the top roofers in the area use this brand due to their great customer service and reputation. Other recalls, lawsuit. The 2020 Atlas SUV has been recalled for front seat frame, improperly aligned headlights, tires and rearview camera issues. In March of 2020, Volkswagen was the subject of a class action lawsuit regarding warranties on the Atlas and other vehicles. VW’s Atlas 2021 cars are not subject to any additional recalls.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) believes fuel may be leaking from the fuel injectors in 2018-2020 VW Atlas SUVs.
More than 191,000 Atlas SUVs are equipped with 3.6L engines, and if fuel isn't leaking from the injectors, it's at least leaking from the area of the injectors.
Customers report illuminated warning lights, fuel odors and fuel spewing from the engine compartments. The area is filled with hot engine components, and leaking injectors make the fire risk higher than fuel leaks from other areas of the vehicle.
Volkswagen says out of the 2018, 2019 and 2020 Atlas SUVs, the 2018 models have higher warranty claim rates for the fuel systems.
Two of the owner complaints came from these drivers of 2019 VW Atlas SUVs.
'Fuel injector cracked at 21k miles while on the highway. Fuel was spewing all over the engine and ground. There was a burning smell and loud winding noise as well. Also loss of power and acceleration. Had just enough power to get off of the highway. Was very worried. Possible fire risk'
'Started the car to come home from the park 2 miles away from home and halfway home the car started cutting out, had very limited power, epc light came on followed shortly by the engine light and a fuel smell. Shut the vehicle off and restarted it while someone was looking in the engine compartment. It was immediately seen that a massive amount of fuel was dumping from the fuel rail/injector area at the front of the engine.'
NHTSA's investigation will try to determine if fuel is leaking from the injectors and if Volkswagen would do well to recall the Atlas vehicles.
