VW recalls Atlas, Atlas Cross Sport for issues with airbag sensor
SUVs from between 2018 and 2021 and Atlas Cross Sports from 2020. A little more than 143,000 units are involved, and the problem stems from the passenger occupant detection system. The system is designed to prevent injuries that airbags can cause to children and can deactivate the airbag when the seat is empty.
The sensors in these vehicles are part of the seat heating system, which is connected to a control unit under the seat via a wire. If there’s a fault, the sensor may not accurately detect a passenger in the seat and could turn the airbag off. The good news is that when that happens, a warning light pops up in the gauge cluster.
