The NHTSA in the U.S. is opening a safety probe into the 2018 and 2019 versions of the Volkswagen Atlas. Auto123 has the details.
Recently, a recall was issued for the Atlas 2024, a model undergoing a major overhaul for the coming year. This week, we learn that the NHTSA , the U.S. equivalent of Transport Canada, has opened an investigation into 184,000 Atlas models, of 2018-2019 model-years.
The NHTSA's Office of Defect Investigation has received 59 complaints alleging unintentional activation of the front-assist automatic emergency braking system with 2018-19 models. Of these complaints, five include reported minor injuries sustained as a result of the issue. Automatic emergency braking is a wonderful safety feature, as it can save lives and reduce the severity of injuries to occupants. However, if it malfunctions, it can have unfortunate consequences.
The NHTSA wants to make automatic emergency braking, including pedestrian detection, mandatory on all new light vehicles. It wants minimum performance standards to ensure that systems are capable of preventing or mitigating frontal collisions at higher speeds and operate effectively in darkness.
